Megan BurttAdam Tressler’s electric guitar on Megan Burtt’s It Ain’t Love punctuates, brightens up, and raises up these tunes from what they would otherwise be. The guitar brings out the bluesy passion in Burtt’s singer/songwriter thing. See “Pay It Now”’s staccato strums or how a jazzy blues peaks out from the shadows of “Fix You Need.” Like the Katie Todd Band or Kelly Snyder, it’s a folk sound fleshed out—here with a bluesy country skin. “Habit” with its bluesy line delves into a darker corner to undergird Burtt’s sweetness and draw out that passion.
