Eilen Jewell’s ‘Get Behind the Wheel’ serves as a testament to Nietzsche’s assertion that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, she’s clearly back in the driving seat.

Eilen Jewell’s ‘Gypsy’ is one of those rare things, an album containing a perfect dozen songs without a single dud track. If all were right and just in the world, she would one day take her place amongst the country music legends.

Most of ‘Sundown Over Ghost Town’ was inspired by and written in Idaho City, a mostly abandoned former mining centre to the north of Eilen Jewell’s hometown of Boise, where she now lives, and provides the album’s reflective tone and lyrical threads. It is a more reflective, musically subdued work than some of her past outings, but it may well be her best yet.

Enjoy the weekend with our new mix featuring The Wiyos, Jamie Harrison, Eilen Jewell, Lisa O’Neil, John Doyle and more!
