Charleston, South Carolina, husband-and-wife duo Shovels & Rope made waves on the Americana scene with their 2012 debut O' Be Joyful, a set of rowdy sloppy-tonk songs with a Southern gothic tinge. Swimmin' Time is the successful follow-up, pitching drawling vocal harmonies against a bluesy, lo-fi backdrop of guitar, piano and drums. "Stono River Blues," named for a tidal channel that was the site of a major slave uprising in 1739, is the highlight, with its allusion-inflected lyrics: "I gotta sister on Wadmalaw / She floats all day in the Ledenwah / One day she left the chickens in charge / And floated off to Heaven on a party barge."
