Album Notes & Community Reviews

On her critically acclaimed sophomore album, the singer and slide-guitarist masterfully expanded her acoustic blues foundation to incorporate lush, New Orleans-style brass and smooth R&B rhythms. Featuring both stellar original compositions and impeccable covers of artists like Jackson Browne, it established her as a preeminent, emotionally resonant interpreter of American roots music. It remains a universally beloved cornerstone of her early catalog.
