Gabby Barrett's breakthrough hit, 2020's excellent "I Hope," heralded a country spitfire with power and range. Her second album finds the singer comfortably settled down; only 23 and married to a man she competed against on American Idol, Barrett already has two kids and a third on the way. "This album tells the story of my current chapter of life as a Christian, a mother, a wife, a songwriter and an artist, along with all the little verses that happen in between," Barrett has said. Chapter & Verse is heartfelt and sweet but a bit restrained: the country music album version of a Hallmark movie. Written by Luke Combs, "Dance Like No One's Watching" is a girl-dad song written from the POV of the now-grown daughter ("I was seven years old, he was holding my hand/ So we walked in the gym, he could tell I was scared/ Said, 'You can pretend it's just you and me'/ So, I closed my eyes and I stood on his feet"). It's a pedal-steel ballad tailor-made for weddings. "Growin' Up Raising You," meanwhile, is a sweeping tribute to Barrett's own daughter ("Hand me the world, wrapped in a pink blanket"). There are several tracks for her husband, a rancher who sometimes plays guitar in Barrett's touring band. "You're bluebonnets growing wild ... You're my Nacogdoches sky," she sings on the Miranda Lambert co-write, gussied up with big guitar riffs and cloud-soft backing sighs. Fiddler Jenee Fleenor brings authenticity to "Cowboy Back," as Barrett makes clear she wants a working cowboy, not just one who wears a hat to downtown Nashville bars: "Takes a little more than a Bass Pro cap and a Skoal ring in back/ I want the whole truck not the trucker hat." "Off the Highway," a frisky Texas-set love song with fiery guitar, echoes the kick of early Maren Morris. Fun "Glory Days" has a skip in its step; Barrett herself has compared it to old-school Keith Urban. "Hard to Read" boasts big kick-ins and recalls ’80s mid-tempo Reba. And there are a couple moments of vulnerability when Barrett really shines, like the swelling piano ballad "All Of My Life" and "Grow Apart," which finally hints at her true strength and vocal range. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
