SIngle Girl, Married Girl's newest release, Three Generations of Leaving, chronicles the trials and traumas of three generations of women from the same family. Spanning several decades, it begins with the religious matriarch of the family being abandoned by her husband and children, and then follows one of the daughters as she flees from one bad situation to the next, and a granddaughter, who is estranged from her mother and looking inward for answers.
Each of the women are of their time: the grandmother a rural 1950s housewife and homemaker devoted to her husband, the daughter a rebellious teen of the 1960s who survives and flees several bad relationships and a religious cult, and the granddaughter an urban, introspective, but troubled young woman grappling with unrealistic expectations and societal standards in a digital world.
Musically, the style and arrangement, song-to-song, attempt to convey or suggest the generation and family member being depicted.
The album has received praise from No Depression, American Songwriter, Bluegrass Situation, The New York Times, Americana Highways, and others.
