Album Notes & Community Reviews

Traveling to Nashville for her sophomore solo effort, the acclaimed vocalist immersed herself deeply into traditional country structures while retaining her Los Angeles folk-rock sensibilities. The sessions yielded her first major solo smash with the devastatingly melancholic ballad 'Long Long Time'. The recording firmly established her as a preeminent interpreter and a crucial architect of the burgeoning California country-rock sound.
