Album Review: Terri Binion 'The Day After The Night Before'

Courtesy: Missing Piece Group

There is something really special about hearing an album from an artist who is completely new to you and knowing from the first verse of the first song that it’s going to be good; very good. Such is the case with The Day After The Night Before, an eleven-song release from singer-songwriter, Terri Binion due March 25th.

The title of the album sums up its origin and direction.  With stories born from a year of personal tragedy and loss, it carries the listener with her on the journey from being lost to again finding direction and purpose.

Banjo, steel guitar, lyrics dripping with imagery and flawless vocals are constants throughout, beginning with the opening song, “Long Way Back” and continuing through to the closer, “My Satellite”.  Highlights from this excellent album include, “Tiny Little Land Mines “Grace In Mid City”, and “10 Burden Song”.

Try to imagine Joni Mitchell, meets Amy Winehouse, meets banjo; all in the best possible way.  If you’re looking for a musical breath of fresh air, you’ll find it in Binion’s The Day After The Night Before.
