THE 50 BEST ALBUMS OF 2024 SO FAR

Singer-songwriter Kelsey Waldon hails from the small town of Monkey’s Eyebrow, Kentucky. She finds inspiration in old-time country music, which has given her self-penned compositions the patina of authenticity. Waldon performs some of her favorite songs from the past in their original styles on her latest album, There’s Always a Song. Waldon mostly lays down the tracks like one might empty an old trunk full of vintage clothes. She carefully preserves their archival beauty. For the most part, Waldon doesn’t update the words, speed up the delivery, or add contemporary instrumentation. She does add a few minor tweaks to the original material, but on the whole, she presents the songs in an old-fashioned way. – Steve Horowitz
