That Ain't No Man That's The Devil

That Ain't No Man That's The Devil

Jessie Murph was just 19 when she released her 2024 debut LP, That Ain’t No Man That’s the Devil. Even though she was green in the industry when she dropped this first album, it’s remarkably assured, a blend of country, soul, pop and folk that suggests a rich musical vocabulary from a rising star. On opener “Gotta Hold”, a plucked banjo melody and shimmering organ provide the perfect backdrop for her honey-tinged voice, bridging the gap between the soul concoctions of the late Amy Winehouse and modern-day alt-country stars like Kacey Musgraves and Lainey Wilson. Murph showcases her pop sensibilities on the Jelly Roll-assisted “Wild Ones”, which finds her half-rapping over an acoustic-guitar stomp and recruiting all sorts of trouble when she croons: “Middle finger to the sky/Say you wanna get dangerous/Now you're speaking my language/I forgot what your name is/So I'ma call you mine.”
