The thing I like about her vocals ...Oh yes yes yes. The thing I like about her vocals is that she knows what her limits are and stays within them, rangewise and lyrically. And while some dislike the fact that her singing isn't very expressive, it's her vocal minimalism that makes it work. Yep, better album than until we felt red, although I have no real complaint with that one. There are a couple tracks I skip, no biggie. It does have a big "tortoise" thumbprint on it, since john mcentire produced it, but I like tortoise, so whatever. I think people tend to overlook what she did right on that one, though, which was a lot. Goby is a great track, and gay sons of lesbian mothers probably sold more lap steels than anything else in the past 30 years. Anyway, she could hardly have done better than she did on dreaming of revenge. A bit more guitar craziness, the singing works, the band has gelled, and she's playing more ambitious music and pulling it off with aplomb.Master Ciananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116684931603193909noreply@blogger.com
