This album is all of that and more. Jenny Owen Youngs writes a mean lyric, has a coolly deceptive voice - it lulls you in and then wham! Hits you over the head like a pop song baseball bat. Love it. "Voice on Tape" and "F**K, I Was" are just awesome. RIYL Cat Power, Mary Lou Lord, Beth Orton.

This Cd was not what I expected! I went to a show in San Fransisco with my girlfriend, and the whole way there I was telling myself to arrive with an open mind. I'm not really a big fan of female singers, but any live music is better than nothing at all. I was blown away by her live performance. I bought the Cd a few weeks later, and I was impressed, not only by her skills but by her song writing abilities. There are a lot of big winners on this CD. BUY IT!!!!!

This album grows softly and slowly in your heart. Jenny Owen Youngs has a florid Folk jazz style with her own unique mellow voice. She has noticable musical depth and talent. She is another promising graduate of SUNY Purchase(e.g. Regina Spektor) to hit the alternative folk scene.
Just as Regina is becoming well known I see Jenny also making it bigtime.
