sg goodman old time feeling

​S.G. Goodman (from the album Old Time Feeling available on VerveForecast Records)
 
According to S.G. Goodman, ‘the southern state is a condition’. The daughter of a western Kentucky farmer, S.G. Goodman puts the line into the title track from her recent release, Old Time Feeling, her words speaking directly to neighbors, friends who leave the home she loves in search of greener pastures and modern sentiments. Directness is a writing tool for S.G. Goodman, the stories on Old Time Feeling take aim and fire, her topics difficult to hear, even tougher to say. The album opens with a brave retelling of a personal experience. “Space and Time” beautifully sharing chapters of a coming-out tale. S.G. Goodman baring buried truths when the reaction from the small town she lived in took her to thoughts of suicide, the struggle inside sharing ‘I never wanna leave this world, without saying I love you’. Raised on the Mississippi River Delta in a strict church-going family, S.G. Goodman grew from singing in choir three times a week into the Indie music scene of Murray, Kentucky. Produced by Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Good Time Feeling steps on rural stereotypes as the songs of S.G. Goodman present mountain music circa 2020, its stories fresh as morning dew while its truths are instilled in sepia-toned mountain traditions.
 
Thick, guitar notes spin in a wheel around the dreamy voice of S.G. Goodman as she buries meaning in a fantasy tale, the rhythms rising to explode over “Burn Down the City” while Old Time Feeling displays southern heritage in “The Way I Talk”, softly strums strings for the lazy sway for “Tender Kind”, and caffeinates the beat for “Supertramp”. S.G. Goodman shows the way for both sides of discussions to come together, Old Time Feeling believing that the human race can co-exist peacefully, or at least respectfully. Choices are questioned over the raggedy rhythm of “If It Ain’t Me Babe” and a world-weary storyteller faces a “Red Bird Morning” as S.G. Goodman exits the album on a heartbeat groove wondering where she fits in “Big Girl Now”.
