Weezy Ford / Lola Sauvageot

While The Barbaras are country-forward, Ford’s solo work leans more toward the guitar music of the mid-20th century, including ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll, vintage surf music, and the ‘60s French pop subgenre known as yé-yé, after which Ford titled a track on Sugarcane.One unique quality that brought some early attention to Weezy Ford shows was her tap-dancing skills, which infused both visual and rhythmic interest into her performances. You won’t hear the click of Ford’s heels on In the Movement, but she still seems to dance through these songs. The album is just slightly over half an hour long, and each song barrels into the next.Ford describes the album’s subject matter as “movement and loss and love songs to friends and mushroom hunting.” “Chanterelle,” which Ford describes as having a “secret agent” feeling, is an ode to the edible fungus of the same name—and to a hobby she’s had since she was a girl.
