Albuquerque's Merlettes formed in 2015 as an all-female honky-tonk band made up of local all-stars.  Beginning with the Country canon the group soon added original material to move beyond the "retro" image.  For this session the 5-piece played an all-original set of songs from the pen of Kristina Jacobsen.

 
Recorded by Roman Garcia in Studio A on January 18, 2019 Merlettes are:
 
Kristina Jacobsen: guitar, lead vocals
Dair Obenshain: fiddle, vocals
Meredith Wilder: vocals
Laura Leach Devlin: bass
Sharon Eldridge: drums
