The Best Southern Albums of 2019

1 of 23

Yola | Walk Through Fire 

A potent mix of steel guitar, nimble fiddles, sharp lyrics, and powerhouse vocals, Walk Through Fire makes it immediately clear why the U.K.-born singer-songwriter Yola found a welcoming home in Nashville. The ‘60s-soul sound of “It Ain’t Easier” gets some Music City twang from an ever-present steel guitar, while on the standout track “Ride Out in the Country,” lilting strings provide a lush backdrop for a soul-satisfying escape on the back roads.
Essential Tracks: “Ride Out in the Country,” “It Ain’t Easier”
