It&#8217;s one of those joints half full of the lonely and the tired and a few troublemakers. You overhear someone talking from a few bar stools down, a woman telling a stranger her story. While you don&#8217;t normally eavesdrop, she keeps saying things that sound like they could have come from your own mouth. Things to do with too many empty bottles littering the floor, things to do with a certain moral ambivalence and an ease with that ambivalence, things to do with isolation and fear. All these things delivered in a voice of world-weary defiance. <\/p>\n<p>You turn to look down the bar and see the speaker of your truths. There you find a small, pale girl who can&#8217;t be more than 23. What the hell?<\/p>\n<p>This is Lydia Loveless, a 21-year-old native of Columbus, Ohio, who plays her songs of late nights at the bar and next-day regrets &#8211; or a lack of regret &#8211; while planting one foot firmly in country and the other foot firmly in rock. Her new album <i>Indestructible Machine<\/i> is out today on Bloodshot Records.
