Joselyn and Don – “Girl from the Mountain”
Americana Highways presents this premiere of Joselyn & Don’s song “Girl from the Mountain” from their forthcoming album Lost and Found Highway. Lost and Found Highway was produced by Graham Richman and Don Barrozo with associate producer Joselyn Wilkinson. It was engineered by Don Barrozo, Sam Robertson and Mai Leisz; mixed by Kevin Smith and mastered by Gavin Lurssen.
“Girl from the Mountain” is Joselyn Wilkinson on lead vocals and tenor ukulele; Mauricio Lewak on drums and percussion; and Tom Freund on upright bass.
The upright bass makes an impression here with gentle punctuation as the song starts out slow and then pulls you in tightly. This is a timely and emotional sentiment of affection for the power of Los Angeles right now, too, in the midst of elements that are testing her from various fronts. Joselyn’s vocals are strong and clear and the music is toe-tapping and rich: “I’ve got to get back to L.A. / She believes that I’m more than a girl from the mountains.”
The song channels the carefree heat of a summer road trip, wrapped in an irresistible alt-country groove. With upright bass, punky energy, and a breezy singalong chorus, the track captures the wistful edge of summer’s end—when the freedom of the season collides with the call of real life. It’s an anthem for that moment of turning back toward the city, wondering if maybe you don’t have to. – Joselyn Wilkinson
