Album Review: Levi Petree & The Radio Publica 'It's Country'

Los Angeles based Americana-rock act Levi Petree and The Radio Publica will release their debut full-length album It’s Country, on August 23rd. Self-produced by Petree and recorded at Exposition Studios, It’s Country contains ten original songs that feature a diverse range of musical styles from the rallying, thrashing, punk flavored “The Rapture” which kicks off the record to the closer “Eyes So Blue,” an 80’s tinged rocker about loneliness. The album also includes “Fight On,” a roots based tune about pressing on through difficulties, “Do What You Want,” a country rocker of a kiss-off song, the thoughtful “What’s It Gonna Take?” and the good-humored and infectious “The Habanero Do-Si-Do.” The album is rounded out with the gentle, mandolin tinged “Lover’s Cove” and “I Know You’re Gonna Haunt Me” a roots rocker which features Liz Beebe on vocals.
