ZZ Ward
Til the Casket Drops
Nineteen days ago, I didn’t know who ZZ Ward was. Then, I saw her open for the Fray at Summit Music Hall. Her music is now on every playlist I’m listening to, whether it’s the ski playlist, the workout playlist, or the we need to take the Christmas decorations down and need a lot of energy to do it with playlist. She gets us moving.
She is also a joy to see perform live. She’s beautiful, for one. And sweet and funny and charming. She makes you want to see her be wildly successful. I’ve seen reviews where she’s compared to Adele and Amy Winehouse, and while I agree with the comparison, she also has a sound so uniquely hers.
Her music is full of the blues, and is so addictive. It makes you want to dance, or run, or ski, or put decorations away. It makes you want to move, and sing along.
Put the Gun Down, Last Love Song, Save My Life, Charlie Ain’t Home, 365 Days, Move Like U Stole It, Home . . . have I named every song on the album yet? If not, they deserve to be listed. Every single song, again, is so good.
And again, this is someone I expect to see and hear a lot more from. She is an amazingly talented singer and songwriter.
