Her music is not so much rooted in the country tradition as it is a by-product of it. Mattea's roots are more James Taylor than George Jones, and while steel guitars and 2\/4 rhythms abound, LOVE TRAVELS is more an album of stylized Nashville folk-pop than neo-country.\u003cbr\u003eTo flesh out her introspective vision, Mattea reaches beyond the usual stable of Nashville songwriters to include songs by some honest-to-god singer-songwriter types. Gillian Welch contributes \"Patiently Waiting\" and \"455 Rocket,\" and they show Welch to be capable of writing outside her own trad-country performance style. Jim Lauderdale's \"I'm On Your Side,\" an unsentimental oath of loyalty, is one of the album's highlights. Janis Ian's moody, minor-key \"All Roads To The River\" lends a dark side to LOVE TRAVELS. The clean but homey production of Mattea and Ben Wisch creates an atmosphere through which the subtle beauty of the songs can clearly be seen.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915161030943,"sku":"731453289925","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/a77119725d257fd519212ef7d031a94d.jpg?v=1777968655","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/love-travels","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
