Named one of 12 “Most Essential” albums of 2015 by Saving Country Music Ranked #2 in The Triangle's 25 best albums of 2015 by The Independent Weekly Sidelong makes The Troubadour Show’s top 20 albums of 2015 “With Sarah Shook in the mix, hard core country is alive and well, and dangerous as all get out.” - Grant Britt, No Depression “Twangy, aching, and true—that’s what you find on Sidelong in ample portions…” “…an album with some piss and attitude on it, so be forewarned.” - Trigger, Saving Country Music “…America has expressed a growing interest in outlaw country upstarts, from the hirsute Chris Stapleton to the metaphysical man Sturgill Simpson. But Sarah Shook's brilliantly written and rendered Sidelong boasts more attitude and aplomb than works by either singer.” - Grayson Haver Currin, The Independent Weekly "...country gem, Sidelong, captures Shook's wild, reckless energy and wide-open, raw dejection..." - Corbie Hill, The Independent Weekly Produced, engineered, and mixed by Ian Schreier at Manifold Recording, Pittsboro, NC
