“Years of hopping trains, busking and bruising around the United States, being homeless with plenty of harrowing stories to tell has resulted in that real world authenticity baked into Sierra Ferrell’s West Virginia roots. …. A fairly wild romp through American roots music influences, and bolstered by a zesty and ambitious variety of instrumentation, Long Time Coming refuses to be categorized, aside from being distinctly Sierra.” - Saving Country Music Released August 20, 2021.

“Imagine, for a moment, being born in Rio de Janeiro with the softly sonorous tones of samba, bossa nova, and the folk-psychedelia of Tropicália to consider as its swaying, jutting traditionalism—a lengthy history of inspiration and malleable musicality that includes Jobim, Costa, Conte, Veloso, and Ze.
