From their latest album What It Takes, a live capture and classic folk-country song and groove – The North Sound engage and entertain beautifully, with the rather faultless earworm Hard Way, Easy Livin’.
Featuring divine harmonies from the two singers – Forrest and Nevada Eaglespeaker – the track adopts a nostalgic country aura, with its acoustic roots and light rhythms elevating the infectious songwriting and thoughtful, relatable musings of the performance.
The voices suit this genre undeniably, and a modest solo and equally humble delivery help reinforce that authenticity and inherent love for the process. It’s real musicianship, great voices, great writing, all combined with an uplifting twist that will no doubt prove all the more addictive in the live setting.
The new album in its entirety follows a similarly organic pathway, with stories of personal experience presented in a way that’s easy to connect with and escape into. The sound is raw, honest, and loaded with talent, and for all of these reasons, The North Sound are an act worth checking out this year.
