![]() Susan Gibson (from the album The Hard Stuff available on For The Records) Susan Gibson wrote her truth, following hopes into a song, the cut resonating with The Dixie Chicks who made the decision to include Gibson’s “Wide Open Spaces’ on their fourth, breakthrough, release. Having a hit song provides options though life still shows up no matter where your songs land on the chart. On her recent release, The Hard Stuff, Susan Gibson points fingers on a rambunctious beat in “Lookin’ for a Fight” as the album finds “Wildflowers in the Weeds” when a woman fearlessly peers into a forty-year past and mountain music shines down on a morning-table-memories in “8 x 10”. Susan Gibson wanted to make The Hard Stuff a musical counterpoint to her solo live performances, her request to producer Andre Moran (Belle Sounds) was ‘no limits’. The soundscapes shift around the words, tender acoustic notes flickering to match the love flutters of “Diagnostic Heart” while “The Big Game” stretches out on a Jazz-jam of rhythms and an assured beat backs the weather reporting personal turbulence in “Hurricane”. Susan Gibson has a number stuck in her head as she loops seven reasons on repeat when The Hard Stuff title track slinks in on funky horn pops as a sweet groove cruises underneath the rapid flow of lyrics.
