Long Time Coming
Her Rounder debut: twelve songs with Jerry Douglas, Billy Strings and Sarah Jarosz among the guests.
Sierra Ferrell, 2021
Gary Paczosa recorded and mixed it and Paul Blakemore mastered it at CMG Mastering; Americana UK says the sessions took place at the Raising Sand studio, which we could not reconcile. Jerry Douglas played dobro, lap steel and Weissenborn, Nate Leath fiddle and mandolin, Billy Strings acoustic guitar on "Bells of Every Chapel", Cory Walker banjo, with Sarah Jarosz and Tim O'Brien on backing vocals, Chris Scruggs on steel guitar and Stu Hibberd on electric guitar and drums; Ferrell played musical saw and toy piano on "The Sea". It reached 15 on the US folk chart and 25 on top album sales.
Metacritic gives it 78 out of 100; Pitchfork's Brad Sanders and Paste's Andy Crump both gave 7.6, PopMatters 7 and Americana UK's Emily Dongray 9 out of 10. Wikipedia calls it her third studio album in one article, while the artist article lists it third of four.
