Album Review: Sal Kimber & The Rollin' Wheel - Southern Light

Sal Kimber has taken the expansive, soulful route through country and pop music on her new album.

With a strong backing band sparkling and shimmering with keyboards and some fine guitar playing it is certainly a warm, breezy and welcoming record that steers clear of the Nashville clichés and instead rides the more commercial currents of Fleetwood Mac and even yacht rock. Stay with us though; even though the pop aspect does become a touch too saccharine at times, there are enough catchy and soulful high points such as Stumble In The Dark and Come A Knockin' to make this a strong release for Kimber and co.
