    Each songwriter is honored, and often improved by Rumer's thoughtful readings. [Jul 2012, p.109]

    Yet if Rumer seems to be thinking less critically here, she sounds just as beautiful doing it.

    Rumer can't conjure the right twinge of dissolution for Neil Young's "A Man Needs a Maid," and her lack of urgency on "Soulsville," by Isaac Hayes, is damning. But elsewhere she slides into the premise as into a tub full of suds, communing with Townes van Zandt's "Flyin' Shoes" and Jimmy Webb's "P. F. Sloan."
