Goldie Boone

New albumin 5 days

WellWater by Goldie Boone

Eleven songs cut live in one room, mostly first takes. Raw acoustic country, the way she plays them on the porch.

The new record

Well Water

She wrote most of it in the eight months after Homegrown, sitting on the floor with a borrowed guitar and a notebook. Nothing on it is tidied up. You can hear the room, and once or twice you can hear her breathe.

About

The songs were the only place the truth could fit.

Goldie Boone grew up in a small Southern town where everybody already knew everything about everybody. She started writing because saying things out loud was harder than singing them.

The words arrive on whatever paper is nearest, a grocery receipt, a church bulletin, the back of a peach crate label, and they live in her guitar case until they turn into songs. Her rule is simple: every song has to hold at least one line that hurts.

Homegrown found its audience without a label, a radio push or a tour. Well Water follows on August 7.
