'Not Even Happiness' is the second album from US artist Julie Byrne. It's an arresting album of sparse folk songs that offer new interpretations of Americana, blues and Laurel Canyon ballads. The record arrives after years of exploring the country, living and working elsewhere, but was written and recorded back in New York state in her childhood home. All the experiences gained and lessons learned from the journey are reflected in the poetic observations and insights of the songs' lyrics.
