Jakob Dylan’s latest album opens with this: “God wants us busy, never giving up / He wants nothing but the whole wide world for us.” Women and Country, written and recorded in three weeks, carries a haunting spirituality—a sense that things are broken: “it ain’t milk and honey,” he sings, “we’re moving round.” But there is a richness in the songs, too, hoping for “no more love lost and no more shame.” This is rockabilly lament for your music library.
