about

Lonely Places, the new disc by The Mayhaws, could well be considered the sequel to Ms. Hazel Dickens’ Hard Hitting Songs for Hard Hit People. The three songwriters in The Mayhaws—Sharla June, David Leporati, and Carrie Hamby—have gone to the dark side and come out with some of their hardest-hitting songs yet, while still managing to shine the surfaces enough that you can see a reflection of your better nature.

In hallmark Mayhaws’ style, Lonely Places serves up a heaping helping of longing, regret, humor, hope, and stomp that will get you kicking out your chair and shaking it long through the coming dog-days. And the mix of lead voices—June, Leporati, and Hamby—keeps the disc sounding fresh, surprising, and richly textured. These folks have studied on the harmonies of family bands like the Louvin and Everly Brothers, as well as gospel music and the bright, nonchalance of 70s-transister radio pop to find a sound that is at once familiar (and comforting) and unexpected and moving.
