"Stripped down folk blues requires sincerity to be effective. There's too much space, too many nooks of silence that can easily wreck any singer/songwriter who isn't absolutely committing themselves to the craft. There's no lack of conviction here, as this young woman lays it all on the table, breathing life into songs that are minimalistic in construction but fully realized nonetheless. Focusing mainly on guitar and vocals, these 12 tracks are bred in the folk tradition but also embody deep rooted soul, an element that is conveyed richly in her lyric and vocal style. Using a primarily narrative approach in the lyricism, the songs delve deep into friendships and spirituality, love and concern. It works well with the enchanting tone of the record, with each track acting as a window into a reality, succinct verse prose on life and lessons learned. The optimism in songs like "I'm Over You" is balanced perfectly with soul searching tracks like "Help Me," painting an intimate self-portrait that makes for some compelling music".-CD BABY
