You will fall in love with Ethel Cain's Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You. A prequel to Cain's debut Preacher's Daughter, the songs chronicle the heady first love between the teenaged protagonist of the album and Tucker, the subject of the Preacher's Daughter track "A House in Nebraska." The songwriting is compelling and heartbreaking, the sound of Southern Gothic. The melodies are ethereal with an edge, imbued with the wonder of the deep south countryside and the lonesomeness of growing up as an outsider. A moving, magical listen.
