There’s a beautiful simplicity to Liz Longley’s music that makes it so appealing. Her songs have no frills, no gimmicks, nothing at all that could be interpreted as excessive. Her best work features her words and voice front and center. Her self-titled debut for Sugar Hill Records expands upon her sound with the addition of a full band, but Liz always knows to bring things back to what works best.

“Bad Habit,” one of the album’s most powerful tunes, returns to the stripped-down aesthetic that defined Liz’s early career. With just an acoustic guitar, Liz tells a heartbreaking tale of a person who becomes a bad habit; the sort of person who you know will hurt you, but you just can’t quit. It’s a well-known tale, but Liz’s heart-wrenching honesty makes it seem fresh again.
