It is over.

I felt that was a decent album which tailed off a bit in its second half but she has a lovely, expressive, characterful voice that seems able to do most things a voice needs to be able to do.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Not for me, it's was like all the stuff 70s Tom Waits did that I didn't much care for, only more so.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed 17 Jun 2020 - 19:43

I shall give it 3 stars.

What a strangely boring, pleasant, insipid, occasionally stirring, expensively overproduced, fairly good album that was.

Not dump-brown, not beige, but perhaps a pleasingly earthily pale Sienna like what you'd paint your Mexican themed bathroom.

Adobe.

Yes, adobe, that's it.

There was that one really good song though.

That was topper.

She really seemed to be a distillation of everything that'd been popular in (white) American music in the previous 5-10 year-or-so.

Joni Mitchell.
James Taylor.
Ry Cooder.
Emmylou Harris.
Bonnie Raitt.
Bonnie Bramlett.
Simon Le Bon.
Janice from Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem.
Crystal Waters.
Roger Waters.
Billy Piper.
Piper Perabo.
The Inveraray & District Pipe Band
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

The list goes on...
