The song thrums with tension from the jump, with King’s arresting voice commanding the soundscape and unflinchingly recounting the entanglements of a toxic relationship. King delivers the song’s tag-line with heavy irony and a deep sense of foreboding.</p>

Second chances have truly saved my career, now that I’ve had some life experience and am much better at advocating for myself and knowing what I need/want from my life.

So many times, in our lives we’re hurt or frustrated by things not going the way we want, and I think we can all relate to those moments. Whether you’re looking back and realizing you were totally strong enough to leave something that wasn’t working, or you’re looking back saying ‘I told you so!’ to someone who didn’t believe in you, these songs are here for you.” </p>

The other songs earn their place next to that classic. “Poison” explores a similar theme of bloodthirsty revenge against a dirty-no-good lout (though, unlike the very literal gun in the nightstand, the titular elixir is a metaphor, ), while “Not Worth the Whisky” brings a gothic True Detective energy. An eerie acoustic cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” fits right in to the dark-Americana vibes.</p>

A slithering murder ballad, “Nightstand” squirms with relentless darkness and gnaws at your bones. Later, “Not Worth the Whisky” chills with rhythmic boot stomps and claps. King entices and mesmerizes, freezing you in your tracks, and you won’t be able to escape. - Jason Scott, B-Sides & Badlands, 22 Favorite Albums of 2021</p>

It’s classified as contemporary music using both acoustic and electric instruments that incorporates elements of various American roots music styles including country, rock, folk, bluegrass and blues. Popular Americana names include Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and Wilco. Emerging from this grassroots family is female dynamo, Sarah King and her evocative hit ‘Poison‘ which is accompanied with an equally gritty professional lyric video.</p>

It doesn’t last long but has a lasting impact: In five songs and 16 minutes, she puts gaslighting men on blast, delivers two murder ballads, savors the prospect of dying, and decries the evils of war. King’s unique blend of country, blues, soul, rock and folk creates a rich backdrop for her powerful vocals. Every song is delivered with relish, intensity and a kind of empowering fury that doesn’t drag you down. Quite the opposite, they’re energizing and cathartic.</p>

King says, “I always say my influences are bourbon and bad decisions.” Some call her music “gothic country style.” Her debut solo EP “The Hour” is enough to establish this performer as a voice and writing style that will bring her to the attention of a wide audience. The lone solo act on this tour, King will fill a lot of space with her music.
