Tracy McNeil & The Goodlife - You Be the Lightning (2020) [Hi-Res]

You Be the Lightning is the fifth album for Melbourne-based Canadian ex-pat Tracy McNeil, and her band The GoodLife. Following a successful Pozible album campaign earlier this year, the critically-acclaimed Americana 5-piece release their newest full length through Cooking Vinyl Australia. Featuring the recent single Stars, and the much-adored Not Like A Brother (an instant hit with music directors at ABC Local, Double J & ABC Country - and "one of the best ballads you'll hear from anyone all year" - Double J), You Be the Lightning once again highlights the songwriting brilliance of McNeil. Within the broad strokes of Americana music, Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife have refined their own palette, expanding on their distinctive alt-country roots, culminating in a body of work that many believe is the bands' finest to date.
