New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Songwriter Terra Lightfoot has released her album New Mistakes, her third album with Sonic Unyon Records. The record is currently streaming on Popmatters, who writes that "Lightfoot is back in 2017 with a new album New Mistakes chock full of soulful rock 'n' roll, mega SG riffs, and songs highlighting Lightfoot's broad musical range." CBC
Music also featured the album in their "First Play" series, and observes, "as a storyteller, Lightfoot is generous and wise, funny and vulnerable...A wildness lurks and prowls the 12 tracks."
Lightfoot previously released a video for the exuberant foot-stomping lead single "
Paradise", which premiered via American Songwriter. This was followed by the poignant and reflective "Norma Gale", a tribute to the unsung Nashville songwriter's legacy. As Lightfoot explained to Popmatters about her latest release," I think the songs tell the perfect story of where I've been and where I would like to go. And I don't want to apologize for any of it, I'm proud of it, mistakes and all."
"A roots rocker with a powerful voice and a badass Gibson SG that she plays with consummate ease... she could be your new rock 'n' roll hero. Drawing from rock, soul & blues, Terra Lightfoot is a monster talent that will be gracing the world's largest stages in no time." - PopMatters
"Lightfoot crafts ballads and barnburners that hearken back to the past, delivered with fresh energy." - BUST
Shot through with the guitarist-vocalist's powerful, bluesy soul, vivid lyrics and ferocious six-string virtuosity, New Mistakes is an unforgettable outing. From the ground-shaking stomp of "
Paradise" and wild-eyed energy of "Pinball King" that open the set to the psychedelic, gospel-tinged album closer "Lonesome Eyes," the steeltown native's third record distills her masterful talent to its electrifying essence.
Produced by Gus van Go and Werner F (Arkells,
Sam Roberts Band, Wintersleep), New Mistakes is a heady journey. As poignant as it is rollicking and vulnerable as it is rowdy, it cruises long and sometimes lonesome highways that lead everywhere from brokedown dive bars and endless prairie skies to mountain ranges and the Mojave Desert.
Built around Lightfoot's killer live band — Maury LaFoy (bass), Joel Haynes (drums) and Jeff Heisholt (keyboards) — the session impresses on all counts. It's Lightfoot's hungriest and most raw album to date, able to mesmerize with graceful melodies one moment, and step into the ring to deliver a hurricane of hooks or a heart-wrenching chorus the next.
