Come get your wife

"If you had any qualms about King making the move to Nashville, they will be dispelled "quick, fast and in a hurry" by the time [opener] "Ohio" comes to a close ... She joins forces with [Dierks] Bentley on the classic country duet "Worth a Shot" and shuts down the bar with [Miranda] Lambert on the No. 1 hit "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)." Both are testaments to how effortlessly King fits in with the rest of the country crowd ... Though she has been in the country space for a few years now, King firmly stakes her claim with Come Get Your Wife with a sense of refreshing individualism. As Bentley [has] remarked, country needs more characters and King is primed and ready to fill that hole".

"Previously a dabbler in all manners of rootsy American music - she nevertheless wore her blues devotion as a badge of pride, at least on her sophomore set Shake the Spirit - Elle King decided to put all of her chips on country music after her 2021 Miranda Lambert duet "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)" became her biggest hit since "Ex's & Oh's" ... Working primarily with Ross Copperman, a producer/songwriter who has collaborated with Dierks Bentley (who also appears here on "Worth a Shot"), King embraces an insistent brand of country driven by arena rock rhythms and adult contemporary hooks. It's a blend that suits her, placing her sharp nasal twang in flattering relief and harnessing her full-throated delivery so it powers the song, not overwhelms it".
