Mariel Buckley - Everywhere I Used To Be
“I started out pretty traditional country, so I don’t know if it’s so much … a vision, as much as these songs really leaned in that direction melodically. And then once we got in the studio and I knew I wanted to make, for lack of a better term, an actually good pop country record — once we started throwing those ideas around, it became a big sonic thing that I don’t think I really anticipated prior because I write everything out with just a guitar and my voice.”
It seems like Mariel Buckley’s new record, Everywhere I Used To Be has come out of nowhere, and it kind of has given the four-year gap since her debut. The Canadian singer-songwriter more than makes up for that gap with ten songs of some of the absolute best county-folk you’ll hear in 2022.
