Elle King has always swerved into the country lane but with 'Come Get Your Wife,' she makes the big jump from pop to country.
Like her nearly 10-year journey that brought the “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer from pop to country with the release four months ago of her debut Nashville album “Come Get Your Wife.”“Now that I look back and I see all the different markers of my life, country was always kind of there just waving at me. I just didn’t realize it,” she said last week during an interview to talk about her “Rock the Fox” benefit concert for Angel Charity for Children on Wednesday, April 26.
“Every release I have ever put out has had at least one country song on it because at the heart of country music, I think, is great beautiful storytelling and songwriting,” she said. “I had no idea who he was,” said King, who recorded the song with Bentley in Texas, where she lived at the time. “It was a really wonderful day that kind of completely altered the direction of my life and changed it forever in a great way.”
King tapped country superstar Miranda Lambert to duet on her rockabilly-country rocker “Drunk ,” which is on “Come Get Your Wife” alongside a second duet with Bentley, “Worth A Shot.” “Come Get Your Wife” might be the most country thing King has done, but when you peel back the layers, it is very much an Elle King record, from the wink-wink of “Try Jesus” since all the men in your life are losers to the twangy toe-tapper of “Crawlin’ Mood” and the rollicking “Before You Met Me” .
