Wow! What a record, I'm a huge fan of her work, and really loved Kidnapped, but I was really stunned by this record, I guess I always knew she could come up with such an awesome collection of songs, and here it is. It's the record Cat Power and PJ Harvey should be making.

Kiss with Will Oldham is transcendent, and the video for Kiss is one of the best music videos I've seen in years, It's practically high art. Nevada, Dinosaur Egg, Yummy, and Fishes And Honey are just a few of the many highlights. It such a beautiful, bleak and quirky album. The 2007 musically highpoint.

Scout Niblett's "This Fool..." is minimalist, forceful and contains dark songs punctuated by cathartic eruptions. (Steve Albini is the producer.) The arrangements and melodies are spare and odd, but everything hangs together well. It's not party music, but it's worth listening to with the lights off. "Dinosaur Egg" is the sole glimpse of whimsy, and despite the heavy treatment, it is hilarious.

Scout delivers again. The songs are well crafted and are really beautiful with the rhythm section backing of Kristian Goddard and Chris Saligoe. The killer tracks though are the duets with Will Oldham. Listen to "kiss" and forgive the falsetto, This Fool Can Die now is a sweet work of passion.

I had some issues with my mail and the seller promptly sent me another package. Great transaction, thank you!

I must admit, I was suckered into buying this CD after a quick listen and the fact that BPB appears on it. The samples cleverly feature his voice prominently as opposed to the main artist's. This CD spent 20 minutes in my stereo before being dumped in the trash. I'll take the high road at this point and refrain from criticizing Scout's musical (dis)abilities. Art is art, right? Horrible.
