Light acoustics opens Send a Prayer My Way, a co-led, joint project release by singer/songwriters Julien Baker (boy genius) and Torres. The first cut, “Dirt”, is dual confession from two women singing the way of the Outlaw; a leaving story that holds its head up high. Send a Prayer My Way stays close to the Outlaw theme, admitting to being “Off the Wagon” on a sluggish groove as angular chords and a determined beat offer a foundation as an on-the-edge relationship unravels in “Tape Runs Out”, Country Folk searches for answers in “Bottom of the Bottle”, and tops off its love in “Sugar in the Tank”.
The catalyst of Send a Prayer My Way was sparked when Julien Baker and TORRES first shared a stage in 2016. In an after-show conversation the idea ‘let’s make a Country album’ surfaced. Send a Prayer My Way is the result of the pairing from two singer/songwriters, taking time as they navigate healthy careers to create a side project gem. “Tuesday” spins its tale out of a rolling rhythm as raw strums lead into “No Desert Flower” while Julien Baker and TORRES combine voices for “Sylvia” and ride a Country sway as they display “The Last Marble I Have Left”.
