Wow! , what a discovery.
This wonderful album sounds like a cross between seventies era Fleetwood Mac and "tommorow the green grass" jayhawks period. Sarah lee sounds like a combination of stevie nicks and bobbie gentry.
The album was produced by jayhawks genius gary louris and the musicians are Alt-country fan's heaven. You hear louris touch in every aspect of this album , the production is open and airy and the harmonies are just wonderful (think Gram/Emmylou), The songs are all excellent, songwriting of the highest order.
If your'e a fan of high quality music similiar in the spirit to the jayhawks than you owe yourself this album.
Simply wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Album, October 18, 2005

I can be a bit of a track jumper when I don't feel a whole album is on the same musical level, but this album is just so well crafted that I can put down my finger and listen to the whole thing. It is inventive and interesting with some of the best vocals I've heard in any genre lately. This album is interesting enough that you don't need to a roots music lover or a folk lover just a lover of good lyrics and strong vocals. This album is just so well crafted and fun it is worth the money to take a chance on it!

As the daughter of legendary Arlo Guthrie you would expect the storytelling to be great, but remember this album is a joint collaboration between Sarah and her husband Jeremy Irons who wrote most of the album. Although the storytelling is not up to par with Arlo's, the musicianship on this album makes it one to grasp onto and listen to, at first I didn't grasp the subtle influences that flowed within the songs but something always brought me back to this album and with mixed emotions I listened to it again and found myself lost within the harmonies on it. This album has found a place in the rotation of the music I enjoy, and with that I give it three stars for being an album that somehow mystifies me and haunts me with the knowledge of what can become one of the great husband/wife teams in music.
