I've
always been a fan of the Dixie Chicks so when I was presented with
the opportunity to review Emily Robison and Martie Maguire's new
album, Amelita, I just couldn't say no. The Court Yard Hounds second
album, is full of profound lyrics, beautiful harmonies and amazing
orchestration.
“Amelita,”
is a portrait of a friend who wallows in negativity. But the
arrangement and lyrics of “Sunshine” express how this sisterly
duo isn’t going to let their downer friend dampen their day.
In my
favorite song “The World Smiles,” the sisters say they are
determined to put the blues behind them. I love the harmonies of this song. From all the songs on the album, "The World Smiles" is the one that is more catchy and pleasantly melodic.
“Amelita” implies that, musically at least, these former country stars have a spring back in their step — and their infectious way of conveying it will lighten the souls, and soles, of listeners, too.

Containing
11 new tracks, Robison and Maguire took a different approach with
Amelita
than their debut album in 2010. This album contains a new
perspective, which is due in part to time passed since Robison’s
divorce.
“I’ve
been freed of all of those time-heals-everything kind of things,”
says Robison. “Now, I’ve opened up to other ideas and ways of
looking at life and the world. I think it’s not only a more hopeful
album, but it’s more… well fun."
The
Court Yard Hounds’ new album is a clear statement of who the girls
are as artists, defining their sound as a band, with soaring songs
that are personal, yet familiar and widely relatable.
“We’re
a band, not a side project. We like our sound, and we’re going to
continue to do this, and share something new this time around.”
