Lou Turner is going solo again. You might know her as one third of Styrofoam Winos, the rootsy Nashville trio, or from her turns in Ryan Davis' Roadhouse Band, but her own work has been building something special. Now it's about to be a trilogy. Strangels arrives this fall, her third solo LP, and it opens with a stunner.
That opener is "Ants Underfoot," out today as the lead single. It sets the tone: warm, folksy, unhurried, the kind of track that rewards a close listen. Anyone who fell for her earlier solo material knows Turner has a gift for finding the quiet drama in small moments, and this gem keeps that streak alive.
The Winos crowd has been a reliable source of gems for years, and Turner keeps proving why. Her voice carries the whole thing. Her writing does the rest.
Strangels feels like a step forward for one of Nashville's most understated talents. Mark the fall date. This one's worth the wait.
