The latest album from BTV singer-songwriter Ali McGuirk runs the gamut of R&B sounds, from Memphis soul to hefty blues-rock, with elements of Americana and reggae creeping in around the edges. The musicianship is top-notch, unsurprising given the array of legendary session cats involved (Fred Tackett, Larry Goldings, Lenny Castro), but it’s Ali’s songwriting and smoky voice that are the center of attention here.
