Margo Cilker: Valley of Heart’s Desire review – more engaging, minimal Americana

There’s a strong streak of nostalgia in the songs. I Remember Carolina is a joyous travelogue across the US delivered with honky tonk piano, and the same retrospective mood is explored more earnestly on Sound and Fury.

The accompaniment on this second album is fuller – opener Lowland Trail has a canyon-deep guitar twang, and elsewhere come touches of pedal steel and accordion – but slower pieces such as With the Middle sometimes simply plod. What’s never in doubt is the authenticity of the “missteps and redemption” detailed in its songs, or their engaging, personal delivery.
