Midwest Americana family outfit Shannon Clark and the Sugar have delivered a deeply personal and resonant new album titled “This Old World.” Released on September 8, the album is a striking tapestry of American life, unraveling the complexities of the modern era through a blend of country, soulful folk, roots, and heartland rock, bound together by the enchanting cadence of familial harmonies. The title track, “This Old World,” is a profoundly introspective exploration of our national identity, bravely navigating the intricate contours of gender identity, anxiety, depression, war, and gun violence.
