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

StarStarStarHalf Star

"A warm, breezy and welcoming record that steers clear of the Nashville clichés."

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.
