Title: Wonderful new voice; unique and shining talent.
Review: Can't stop playing this amazing lady, have plastered my blog with her web and concert details, and am being a thorough bore urging her on others.Not to detract from the unique timbre of her voice, but who does she remind me of? Kate Rusby? Licorice? Kim Carnes? Jolie Holland?As if Veirs' hypnotic voice and seriously good songs weren't enough, she also moves in heavy-weight company: Bainbridge neighbour Bill Frisell appears on no less than 3 tracks, working his discreet magic as one of today's great guitarist accompanists, and banjo maestro Danny Barnes adds his distinctive querulous vocals to 'Ballad of John Vogelia' and equally unmistakeable banjo plunking on 'Devil's Hootenanny'.Give the gal a listen; you'll be right chuffed you did.
