Title: Better than her solo stuff
Review: I liked this better than her solo stuff (and most of the Throwing Muses, too). She doesn't try too hard to recreate the exact sound of old folk records. The accent isn't too bad and at least she has a legitimate claim to it unlike LA-woman Gillian Welch. Having her son sing on "Mama's Gonna Buy" comes dangerously close to cloyingness and there are too many 'murder ballads' but the music and her singing are great.
Is the review positive or negative?
