I received this CD with quite a nice press kit for a self-released effort and it brought my attention to it. Steve Elliott and Lucie Walker base themselves in Vancouver, BC and are making a very good name for themselves. They play an honest style of country music and they both share vocals making Straight Up a very diverse country album. Some No Depression fans may be a little turned off at how honest and straight-forward Elliott and Walker are but most fans should appreciate the tried and true nature that they are shooting for. There are a modest 10 tracks on Straight Up and it’s really hard to pick a favorite although I tend to lean towards the ones with Lucie Walker’s vocals. This may be a twosome that will make their fortunes off of people playing their songs but there really isn’t anything wrong with what they have to say themselves. Keep an eye out for Steve Elliott and Lucie Walker.
