Black Vinyl LP Pressing

Elle King can do many things, ranging from exuberant alternative/punk to soul pop. But her most compelling presence might be in country music, where she’s won both Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Awards. She’s collaborated with Dierks Bentley, Ashley McBryde and Miranda Lambert, with whom she breaks the 30-year-old, glass-ceiling record for women on the radio charts with the lead single, “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home).”

Come Get Your Wife makes it country music official, with a dozen glorious tracks that run a gauntlet of styles and attitudes leaving King’s roots showing. From being a hot mess, a glorious excess and a woman coming into her own, King has created a very real, small-town frayed-at-the-edges-but-solid-at-the-core missal. “There’s something about how you put the pieces together,” King offers of her first true country project. “This whole album is a crazy quilt of all sorts of moments and things that might not seem to go together, but because they’re me, they do. It’s very Southern Ohio, very who we are – and very much a lot of people who are just like me, because I know they’re out there.”
