Romi Mayes - Sweet Somethin’ Steady

I’ll happily admit bias here. I saw Ms. Mayes a few years ago at Hillside, and she was the one artist that I liked enough to spend my hard-earned dough on a CD for. She came through Austin a few weeks ago, after sending her record, and I was really happy to score an in-studio with her for the station. She sat down, just her and a guitar in the production studio, and we talked and she played. She’s a great songwriter, and she’s just gotten better. This record is produced by country legend Gurf Morlix, and the whole thing is solid. You can listen to this record end-to-end and there aren’t any weak spots. Good old country soul.
