PJ Harvey's debut album is raw, quiet, and gutsy. I guess you would call this an indie album, very subtle and low-key in production quality. Some great songs here, some of my all-time favorites are Happy and Bleeding, "Hour of season, happy and bleeding, long over-due too early and it's late too." Sheena-la-gig (hope I spelled it right!) is one catchy and fun song, "Look at these my childbearing hips, look at these my ruby red ruby lips..." Oh My Lover is a classic, "You can love her and you can love me at the same time." Plants and Rags, a gorgeous ballad, "Dreamt of man, he fed me fine food he gave me shiny things." Fountain is another standout, "On my hill I wait for wind..." The rest of the tracks are fabulous as well. Dry is the perfect album if you want a strong female singer and talented songwriter all in one, buy this hidden masterpiece!
