Longtime members of Steve Earle's band the Dukes, the musical and marital twosome make inspired albums of their own vivid, deeply humanistic songs. Their fourth album, No Time for Love Songs, marks the 10th anniversary of their partnership and creative journey with a collection of songs that could easily serve as the soundtrack to our lives-or at least one version of it. Produced by Shooter Jennings and recorded at L.A.'s legendary Sunset Sound Recorders, the album was engineered and mixed by five-time Grammy Award-winning engineer, Ryan Freeland. No Time for Love Songs explores the emotional challenges of a morally compromised era, and reflects the experiences that the pair has accumulated in their travels. Those experiences helped to inspire the big-hearted songcraft of such compelling new tunes as "Spellbound," "Circle the Sun," "Eyes Open Wide," "The Silver Line," "There Is A Song to Sing," and the album's poignant title track, and showcase the Mastersons' organic harmonies, stirring melodies and insightful lyrics, which consistently offer clear-eyed optimism in the face of loss and discouragement. --- As the Mastersons, husband-and-wife duo Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore have carved out an appealing catalog of warmly understated albums that lean toward Americana's lusher and more pop-driven environs. As ace sessions players and longtime bandmates of Steve Earle (among many others), their deep musicality and penchant for applying tidy arrangements to their own songs makes a lot of sense. On No time for Love Songs, their fourth outing together, they peg former collaborator Shooter Jennings to helm the ship. Masterson and Whitmore have backed up two of Jennings' own releases (2012's Family Man and 2013's The Other Life) and reunited with him in 2019 to play on the Grammy-winning Tanya Tucker comeback vehicle While I'm Livin'. Throughout their career, the Masterson have embraced the nomadic lifestyle of the road, living in between tours in various parts of Texas as well as in Brooklyn. This time around, they've settled in Los Angeles and their music has taken on a very compatible shade of vintage West Coast pop. Recorded at the iconic Sunset Sound studios, No time for Love Songs accents the couple's earthy alt-country tones with whiffs of smooth '70s FM rock ("The Silver Line") and jangling guitar pop ("Eyes Open Wide"), while emphasizing Whitmore's exquisite violin and string arrangements and the way her dulcet voice blends with Masterson's slightly dustier pipes. The overall songwriting is of the same high quality and appealingly honest style as on previous Mastersons' releases, though with its gently psychedelic flourishes and gorgeously building crescendos, the ballad "So Impossible" feels like a creative and emotional peak that represents the specific flavor of this album. For his part, Jennings deftly plays to the duo's strengths and surrounds them with a complementary sonic environment that dips and swells in all the right places, helping to keep the Mastersons just slightly adjacent to Americana's more obvious paths and in their own unique little world. ~ Timothy Monger Shipping^ - Order typically "ships" within a business day after receipt of cleared payment ("Delivery" information provided below).
