    flawless. romantic, angst-filled, despaired as a good French movie, well arranged and produced.

    I really don't care about family legacy and all that. I walked into a shop today and heard music that i liked. I was in said shop for about half an hour. I asked who it was and bought it. Beautiful melodies and lyrics. Never has a plane crash sounded so soothing on track two!

    Starts out nicely, but most of this CD has production that is too airy (not supposed to be a pun.) If she's trying to make Lilith Fair more hip, she has failed IMO.

    It's pleasant, soothing, a perfect soundtrack for me when I write. Utimately though a bit inconsequential, slight. Love her accent though.

    These songs have really grown on me. There are so many layers to each of these gems. Wonderful, ethereal, comforting. A perfect soundtrack of my life. I realized too late that you don't want to listen to track 2 on a plane, though...

    It's definitely in the family tradition. [Oct 2006, p.112]

    How does such a rich soup of chromosomes and hired help come together? In a tinkly, whispery trinket that deserves a place on the stereo of every right-thinking beatnik.
