Wilder Side, 2016

Written by Carter Sampson

Sampson, a country-Americana musician, has a beautiful voice with a warm tone.  Here, she belts this soft ballad out with both power and delicacy.  It's a farewell song and a bold expression of identity.  "I've got a lonesome heart / But you only need light when the daytime is dark / I'm always putting love together to take it apart."  It's the kind of song that's perfect for a ride in a convertible on a sunny day.  Obviously sheet talent doesn't lead to success in the music industry for a variety of reasons, but often I can't understand why some acts, like Sampson, "the Queen of Oklahoma," don't make it bigger.
