Review

Spin (p.106) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[Her] third album unveils deceptively sharp takes of hearts in distress, implying fierce emotions just under the surface."
Dirty Linen (p.86) - "There's longing in the melodies and joy as well, connection and disconnection..."
No Depression (p.66) - "[T]he conversational phrasing, intimacy of the material, and spare, airy arrangements suggest an artist with nothing to hide and nothing to prove."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.59) - "[S]he competently mixes elements of folk, rock, and soul -- embracing her inner Joni Mitchell on sparse lullabies..."
Harp (magazine) (p.100) - "Merritt's songwriting, allusive and glancing, is stronger than ever, and her voice remains one of a kind, as raspy and reedy as it honeyed..."
Paste (magazine) (p.70) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[B]y far her most introspective to date....Merritt is a force to be reckoned with as a vocalist and songwriter in any genre she approaches."

Title Note

The title of Tift Merritt's third album refers to her move from Tennessee to Paris following the release of 2004's TAMBOURINE. Ironically, settling in another country has allowed Merritt to write some of the most purely country- and folk-oriented songs of her career, with less of the rock and 1960s R&B influence of her earlier albums. Full of simple, spacious arrangements and heavy on minor-key ballads, ANOTHER COUNTRY is reflective without sounding downcast, with songs such as the wistful title track and the delicate opener, "Something To Me," providing the template for most of the album. Another highlight is the quietly stunning closer, "Mlle. Tendresses," a cocktail lounge ballad sung in French that recalls the commingling of country, pop, and cabaret on k.d. lang's INGENUE.
