Hannah Juanita & Mose Wilson

“There’s strong and then there’s country strong. Whether it’s Loretta Lynn threatening to send a man-stealing rival to ‘Fist City’, or Miranda Lambert wanting to help her friend enact revenge but realizing they’re ‘Way Too Pretty for Prison’, the genre is home to tough-talking women.

With the release of her debut album Hardliner, singer/songwriter Hannah Juanita aims to be one of them. As her album title suggests, she delivers an uncompromising attitude that peppers the traditional country and western music she uses to frame her vintage vocals.

Juanita knows a thing or two about hard choices, the kind that develop character and strength. The Tennessee native moved to Washington state in 2018, to live with her then-boyfriend. The experience wasn’t a happy one. Juanita turned to music as a creative outlet, writing songs she thought about selling but ultimately wanted to sing. In 2019, she up and left her partner, relocated to Nashville and began working on what would become her debut.

Hardliner is filled with heartbreak — that Juanita herself instigates. More than a few of her songs stem from the relationship she left behind and the thick skin she developed in order to pursue her creative dream. She refuses to settle on the twirling honky-tonk of ‘I’m Gonna Leave You’. “I won’t say goodbye/ But I know you’ll know why”, she sings with a cheeky wink. A similar sentiment arises on ‘Ramblin’ Gal’ and ‘Hard Hearted Woman’.

But there’s also a ripple of vulnerability on Hardliner. Juanita’s desire to find a great, sweeping love contrasts the jaunty Tejano sound on ‘Love Like Yours’, while she sings about a particularly magnetic connection she had with a woman on ‘Green Eyes’. With her personality and swagger, Juanita has the chops to update the traditions that shape her sound, stretching what tough women sing about.” Holler.country

Mose Wilson

"Mose Wilson is the real deal. . . Wilson pulls off the kind of lonesome in his voice reminiscent of Vince Gill, that he aligns to a melody to die for. . . Even if this album came in a plain brown wrapper you wouldn’t be mistaking it for anything but quality. . . Mose Wilson makes a compelling case for all-round proper country singer with his self-titled album.”
