After only a few days in the hands of radio stations, Yvette Landry’s most recent album, Me & T-Coe’s Country, has debuted at #4 on Freeform Americana Roots (FAR) Chart! Reviews are coming in left and right. Here’s what Devon Leger of Kithfolk Magazine had to say…
“Cajun singer Yvette Landry carries a torch HARD for true honky-tonk. Her new album, Me & T-Coe’s Country, is all pedal steel, loping guitar lines, and slightly smokey, sweetly beautiful and seriously twangy vocal lines. Cajuns have long held a great love of honky-tonk, and in some ways a lot of Cajun songs, once you translate them to English, sound just like a teary country song. So there’s a natural connection here that Landry doesn’t have to dig deep to find. What’s interesting, is that this album is really a slow-burner. Most of the songs are taken from various old-school country sources (Hank Williams, Jerry Reed, Buck Owens, Pee-Wee King, Hank Cochran), but they’re slowed down to a nice, relaxed pace. It’s quite lovely, and quite difficult to pull off, actually. But Landry’s got the kind of presence that draws you in. This is a collection of classic honky-tonk that plays more like a steamy Southern novel than a packed dancehall. Special kudos to Landry for picking up our buddy Caleb Klauder’s excellent “Can I Go Home With You” and for writing some classics herself here. Lovely album!”
