The War and Treaty bring their powerful blend of soul, gospel, blues, and country to Lover's Game, released in 2023 via Mercury Nashville. The duo's magnetic energy is on full display from the opening title track, which draws listeners in with braying guitars and a Southern rock immediacy that sets the tone for the entire record. With comparisons ranging from Aretha Franklin to Otis Redding and Rick Rubin-era Johnny Cash, this is an album that showcases an artist duo operating at the height of their creative powers.
Lover's Game is a rich and wide-ranging listening experience, moving effortlessly from gospel-inflected soul to heartfelt country, including "Yesterday's Burn," a track that went viral after the duo performed it on the Grand Ole Opry stage. The album closes on a stunning note with the soul number "Have You a Heart," cementing this as one of the most emotionally resonant roots music releases of 2023. This clear vinyl indie exclusive pressing is a great way to experience an album that demands to be heard on a turntable.
