Big Day in a Small Town

Clark applies her writerly touch to songs that are bold, relatable and rich in detail. <i>Big Day in a Small Town</i> finds the GRAMMY®-nominated singer/songwriter following up her acclaimed solo debut—2012’s <i>12 Stories</i>—with a set of big, beautifully realised country narratives that includes shimmering, hair salon melodrama (“Soap Opera”), brash but subversive rock (“Broke,” “Girl Next Door”), Patsy Cline-like honky-tonky (“Drinkin’, Smokin’, Cheatin’”) and haunting ballads (“Since You’ve Gone to Heaven”, inspired by her father’s death in a logging accident.)
