"You don't get to tell me how to feel," River Shook tells us in no uncertain terms in the second song on 2024's Revelations, the fourth LP from Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, and if one phrase can sum up the tone of the album (and Shook's work in general), that will do just fine. Shook has been fearlessly honest in their songs about life as a single mother, their struggles with drugs and alcohol, and coming out as genderqueer (which even in the relatively enlightened alt-country community is a bold step for a roots music artist), and on Revelations, Shook touches on their mental health issues with the same clarity and matter-of-fact honesty. They write songs about living a hard life, but it's from the perspective of someone who grew up in a time and place where lots of folks were dealing with their own struggles, and there's never a drop of self-pity in their songs, which makes their lyrics, written with the skill of an artist and the blunt frankness of someone sharing at a 12-step meeting, all the more effective. If Shook's vocals aren't always pretty, they know how to communicate their stories to others with the ring of truth, like a blend of Loretta Lynn and Chrissie Hynde after a pack of smokes.
