Description

Specializing in threadbare country-folk ruminations and down-home barnburners, Leslie and the Badgers are striking in their simplicity and straightforwardness. What is most refreshing, however, is lead singer Leslie Stevens’ utter lack of guile. There’s a sincerity and clarity to her lyrics and delivery that raises competent country-rock arrangements to a much higher level. While the tales of these songs betray the band’s urban roots, Leslie and the Badgers don’t come off as a crew of city-slicker dilettantes; Stevens embodies the role of the put-upon country siren with a such a credibility that she does proud the artistic legacy of the ultimate good woman done wrong, Loretta Lynn.
