You could easily say, top alt-country of the day or some such thing, but that buries the lede. This is a songwriting record bolstered by beautiful and artful playing. And yes, pedal steel. J. M. Hart
Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album. BikeBoy29
