This review is from: Tramps Like Us (Audio CD)

I remember listening to her old album Anchorless after seeing it in a bunch of online second-hand stores for like $1. It was a bland but tasteful 90s major label chick-rock album that I was never fully into, but I kinda liked it. Like most major label artists or bands whose albums end up out of print and in the bargain bins I assumed she'd never release anything else, so it was a nice surprise to discover this, her 4th album, which is all acoustic. Her music still has the same kind of intangible likeability about it, it seems like it's lacking something, but you still don't want to stop listening to it once you start. She's a smart singer, she knows she has a good voice but she never pushes herself to use it in a perfect professional way, she sings with just the right amount of lazyness to add a relaxed charm to her delivery without sacrificing tunefulness. It reminds me a bit of Jewel's first album. Some of the chord progressions are kinda bland, but somehow that never seems to be a fault that detracts from the overall effect of the music. This really is a vocally oriented album, as evidenced by the way the vocals are mixed louder than the guitar, and that would usually be offputting to me, because I'm a not a vocally-oriented music listener, but the way this girl uses her voice as an instrument transcends all the rules I thought I'd placed on what makes good music.
