Last we heard from country singer-songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews, she and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy were lending their voices to the anti-Trump Our First 100 Days project. Before that, we’d still been reeling from her breakout album Honest Life, which we deemed one of the best country releases of 2016. Now gearing up to release her fourth record, May Your Kindness Remain, Andrews gives us a glimpse as to how far her voice will go with the gospel-powered title track. Electric guitar and a soulful organ bass combine with Andrews’ traditional folk songwriting to drive the chorus, “If your money runs out and your good looks fade, may your kindness remain,” from a tame request into a vocal demand. We’d all do well to listen.
