Have One on Me

by Joanna Newsom

Have One on Me cover art

The sprawling triple album 'Have One on Me' finds Joanna Newsom expanding her sonic palette with arrangements by Ryan Francesconi that integrate elements of jazz, blues, and diverse instrumentation like the tambura and kaval. A vocal injury during recording resulted in a noticeably smoother, more varied vocal delivery, complementing a production, led by Newsom herself, that is lush yet less ornate than on her previous work. The album's cryptic, pastoral lyrics and lengthy, intricate song structures were widely acclaimed, cementing it as a significant and ambitious work in the contemporary folk-songwriter canon.
