Lizzy and Fancy: Albums by McAlpine and Hagood:

  Two albums I’ve been enamored with in the last week. Want to share two albums that have reached an exceptional place of high regard with me recently.  They both excite and impress me for their singer-songwriter skills, and their deceptively uncluttered-sounding productions.  They don’t have obvious “hits”, but there isn’t a clunker or any filler on either album — which is a relatively rare accomplishment itself.  Lizzy McAlpine ~ Five Seconds Flat ~ April 2022 Links to listen at: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7vh3nkUP7HlDQIeSm7Ht6N?si=p1gufhHpQXm5LAgqLDxPbQ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/albums/B09QC16VHZ?ref=dm_sh_xIvZnza6lvTIA36cb1Hl2yJTe Fancy Hagood ~ Southern Curiosity ~ April 2021 (Yes, 2021) Hagood is gay. (Lizzy isn’t Q, and, as you, dear reader, may know, I specialize in “Music By, For, and About QBGLT Folks”). And he’s taking a matter of fact tone about it here.  Like I said, uncluttered-seeming production supports strong songwriting. One clue or criteria
