Hannah Juanita

About

Hannah Juanita opens her second album Tennessee Songbird with the line 'I'm a honky tonkin' baby, with a hardliner blues', and that pretty much tells you everything about where she's coming from. The American country singer plants herself firmly in the oldskool honky tonk tradition, with an unpolished vocal style that draws inevitable comparisons to Tammy Wynette. Her sound leans on traditional instrumentation, with pedal steel and fiddle doing a lot of the heavy lifting. The uptempo tracks hit hard, but her ballads might actually be where she shines brightest.
