Lydia Loveless

Lydia Loveless might only be 19, but she sings as if she’s already experienced a great deal of life.  She recently released her debut album and fans and critics alike are impressed.  Loveless hails from Columbus, Ohio and regularly plays gigs at Annabell’s Bar & Lounge in Akron, but her twangy country voice seems like it could be more at home playing shows in the deep south.  No matter where she is playing, Loveless manages to charm the crowd.  A performer since she was a young child, Loveless is well prepared for the success that is sure to lie ahead with music like this. The title track off the album is as country as you can imagine.  Loveless sings about shooting her father because he shot the only man she ever loved.  Then her mother turns around and threatens to shoot Loveless for killing the only man she ever loved.  In the end, she kills herself instead because she is so heartbroken.  It’s a pretty dark song for someone so young to be singing about, but Loveless not only does it, she finds a way to have fun with it as well. Another stand out song on the album is the explicit song “Girls Suck” in which Loveless complains that another girl stole her man and then slept with him. It’s hard to believe that this is only the debut album from this country singer/ songwriter.  She already seems like she knows exactly what she’s doing and how she is going to get there.  The sky is the limit for this talented young performer.
