Sarah Vista Killing Fever (LP, 180g Vinyl, Ltd.)

(Gallow Romantic Records) 12 tracks
Sarah Vista has a great country voice and her band makes for a pretty unique country and western sound: Tom Meadows' sparingly chugging drum rhythms recall early rock 'n' roll and many a Johnny Cash song, while Emma Goss' upright bass rumbles and Jeff Meads' guitar sits alongside Vista's own guitar work amid interjections of soulful trumpets and choral background vocals inspired by Ennio Morricone's soundtracks for Sergio Leone's Dollars movies.
So there's a lot to like about Vista's debut album, Killing Fever (2018). In fact, there's not a single bad track here.
Vista and the band stay true to the basic sounds of country and western music, but they bring a lot of variety to their original tunes in terms of attitude, tempo, song arrangements and additional instrumentation.

Stories of revenge and female empowerment inform many of the song lyrics.
