If you haven’t yet discovered Jess Holland’s music, now would be the perfect time to do so with the release of her second solo album, Whole Lot To Say. With a style that nicely combines country, rock and blues, this album is an easy listen that will please many.
Whole Lot To Say starts off with the catchy country vibe of Ain’t Quittin’ This Run. The combination of acoustic guitar and mandolin works a treat on this track. First single Fine Lines should quickly become a radio favourite, with its infectious melody and lyrics. The following track Wasn’t Alone has a pleasant country-pop feel with good harmonies. Holland showcases her versatility on country rock tunes Diggin’ Up Bones and Devil Called Love. Acoustic ballad This Ol’ Guitar closes out the album smoothly. Holland possesses powerful vocals with a songwriting ability to match.
Whole Lot To Say represents significant artistic growth from Holland’s debut solo album, Introducing… Jess Holland. A great album from start to finish which only gets better the more you listen, and should gain Jess Holland many new fans in the process.
