Album Notes & Community Reviews

Teaming once again with legendary producer Glyn Johns, the British singer-songwriter delivers a masterful, highly polished set of jazz-inflected acoustic rock. Her distinctive, incredibly rich contralto voice anchors a diverse set of compositions that range from delicate, intimate balladry to driving, upbeat pop-rock. The album successfully consolidated her growing international reputation as one of the era's premier female songwriters.
