Tift Merritt wastes no time gettin’ to it on <i>Stitch of the World</i>, kicking off with the rowdy, countrified folk of “Dusty Old Man”. Piano-led weeper “Heartache Is an Uphill Climb” follows in dramatic fashion, showcasing her commanding warble.

Iron & Wine, delivers a beauty of a feature on “Wait for Me”.
