She can be brutally rocking on cuts like the tourbus snapshot of \"Miles To Go\" (“Twelve hours to Reno\/ten hours til the next show”), the swaggering \"Sucker Born\" (“Vegas left me weary, LA bled me dry\/skating on fumes as I crossed the Nevada line…”), and the venomous \"Go To Hell\" (“Oh, this ain’t my first rodeo\/You hit yourself a dead end\/ Your voodoo eyes, ain’t gonna cast a spell\/ So you can go to hell!”).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet, elsewhere, backed by the versatile production of Royal Southern Brotherhood guitarist and longtime collaborator \u003cstrong\u003eMike Zito\u003c\/strong\u003e, you’ll find Samantha shifting gears to the aching slide-guitar balladry of \"Over You\" (“Echoing words, said I’d never make it on my own…”) and the redemptive country strum \"Last September\" (“Don’t remember the curves of my face\/Can’t feel the warmth in my embrace\/Well I’m here to remind you…”).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe might stop off for a gritty cover of \u003cem\u003eHowlin’ Wolf’s\u003c\/em\u003e \"Who’s Been Talkin’\", and co-wrote \"Go To Hell\" with Zito, but all other tracks are Samantha’s self-penned originals, and it’s a mix to keep listeners on their toes. “I wanted this record to have a modern rocking sound,” she explains of the light-footed vibe. “I also wanted it to have elements of Americana, country, and roots.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ruf Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50409237840203,"sku":"1146636","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50409235841355,"sku":"1146635","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0486785a-9f5f-4ccc-92c5-610f09a810ac_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726611879","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/black-wind-howlin","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
