Driving in the Dark

Bucky Mariel Buckley slaps the highfalutin country snobs from Nashville in the face with a lesson on how to lay it down thick. This ticks all the right boxes, from the songwriting, the stylish melodies and the heartfelt honesty. Driving in the Dark is a testament that Canadians know how to Country rock with the best of them.

pstnyc22 I love Mariel Buckley's voice on this, and her band. Favorite track: Wait.

Yuu Heard her stuff playing on CKUA, decided to give the whole album a try, fell in love. Great songwriting, nice warm sound, genuine feeling, with no overproduced slickness or noise. Her music reminds me that I actually do love this genre. Favorite track: One Time Asking.

ivanerik Saw this artist and album on Sarah Shook's "best of 2018" list so thought I'd check it out, and I'm glad I did. That wonderful mellow voice pouring out those heartfelt lyrics, steeped in experience (either that or she's just a good storyteller), make for a great album to have on, and sing along to, in the car when you want to make a long journey short. Favorite track: Driving in the Dark.

Sean T. BLACKWOOD This is a gem of an album. Great songs, great playing, Stellar production that supports the music, buts gets out of the way to let the song-craft shine. This is the type of road-trip worthy album that doesn't come along very often anymore. Favorite track: Rose Coloured Frames.

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín

That's How Rumors Get Started
by Margo Price

supported by 12 fans who also own “Driving in the Dark”

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.
