Her greatest strength, in my opinion, is her succinctness in expressing herself. Quite literally, she doesn't waste a single word or play a single extraneous note. There is something very old-fashioned and traditional in the directness of her songwriting as well as a sense of level-headed maturity and clear-sightedness in the way in which she approaches her subjects. The more you listen to this album, the more you appreciate the artfulness and craft that lies behind the apparent simplicity of these songs. Her soulful, nasal, raspy voice is worthy of note, an essential ingredient to the sound picture, communicating her words with a sense of hard-won integrity and an emotional honesty that is not to be questioned. Without a doubt, it will be fascinating to follow her developing career.
Summed up perfectly. Wow I'm impressed! Where do you get them from Paul? I love her sparse guitar playing too. I'm sure Tim and Jeff were enjoying the performance too.....
