Picks from Cillea Houghton: 2. What Else Can She Do – Kaitlin Butts
"Kaitlin Butts made one of the most truth-based albums in country and Americana music with What Else Can She Do. With a voice as raw and poignant as the lyrics she sings, you have your pick of seven songs that will leave you gobsmacked with their unflinching honesty, whether she’s singing about chasing big dreams in search of a better life that actually leads to misery, a young woman using anything I can get my hands on to fill the inner voids, or the striking 'Blood' where she compares the family bonds to a 'merciless flood' wherein God awful things swept under the rug for blood. Butts embodies what it means to be a storyteller, leaving a mark with every word on one of the best albums of 2022."
