Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside’s sophomore LP, the follow-up to 2011’s Dirty Radio, dropped February 19.

Untamed Beast, roots infused rockabilly, by way of wild frontier saloons, brings 2013’s dirtiest girl-rock album yet.

Sallie Ford fronts this Oregonian outfit. Her retro ‘50s style bleeds through her soulful and bawdy voice, making almost every song feel like a strangely sexy bar fight. However, this rough and tumbler knows how to utilize soft feminine vocals to appeal to sullen emotions, like in “Paris”, a song about a man being a parasite, or “Roll Around”, album closer and progressive love song.

While a few tracks are about a man betraying, annoying or hurting a woman, the album as a whole breaks gender roles and expectations. Sallie’s speaker in almost every track is a rustic femme fatale—dirty and raunchy, wild and flirty and very confident.

Although every single song is so excellent (most of them could easily be singles), focus tracks include:

“Bad Boys”—The proclamation of a woman who not only loves the boys, but relates to them too.

“And I can drink/ And I can yell/ And I can raise some hell/ Yeah, I like bad boys/ But I’m like a bad boy as well”

“Do Me Right”—What seems at first like an anthem for any food-loving southern women turns into an innuendo for what satisfies this protagonist in bed. Sallie uses doo wop influences to make this track extremely fun.

”Some girls they like mashed potatoes/ Some girls they like fried green tomatoes/ But me I like a certain sweet/        That only you can give to me/ Papa, you do me right”

“Rockability”—Simply put, this song puts you on your feet with its stomp inducing beats and attitude bearing “whoo whoos” from Sallie.

”They’re telling me I’m like the rockabilly queen/ Won’t you tell me who the hell is she/ I just want rockability/ Won’t you listen to me/ I’m not part of any scene”

Feminine sexuality, individuality and confidence inspire the listener and never skip a beat. Sallie spits, curses and runs wild, but that’s not the only reason this album is so lovable. It’s the fact that’s she’s unashamed of who she is. Any woman can feel empowered by this, whether you like to throw punches and shoot shots or not.  It’s Sallie’s unabashed embrace of being a powerful woman—and loving every minute of it.
