Hope Dunbar - Sweetheartland (2021)

“Singing with a heartfelt, confessional vocal, Dunbar lays out her own interpretation of Prine’s songs as she makes thoughtful references to his lyrics. Backed by a big alt-country sound and plenty of harmonica, the song properly taps into that heartland twang. With Prine leaving us unexpectedly last year, the song feels especially poignant since there is no way we will ever have too many tributes. As the song builds, Dunbar unleashes soulful vocals that are backed by gospel-like background singers, making for a song that captures a beautiful mood.”
