    Really really REALLY just damn perfect. In every way possible. I have nothing critical to say about this album. She does 2 covers, one of Radiohead's "The Tourist" and Dylan's "Ring them bells". "Tourist" is done with a very bluegrassy sound and what we get is a haunting, slower version of the OK COmputer closer. Her cover of "Bells" owns Dylan. Which is not easy to do.

    One of the great new singer-songwriters, and this album is a good introduction to her metier. You get an idea of where the depth of her ideas come from in the songs she covers. These tracks wear well with time, and are part of my daily rotation while working. The only downside of that is you'll get intrigued when you understand a reference, or a picture she's painting in the backgroundOne of the great new singer-songwriters, and this album is a good introduction to her metier.

    Jarosz's talent is wondrous and in no way normal, and her developing musical maturity continues to be a wonder to watch.

    Austin's "newgrass" prodigy moves ever onwards. [July 2011, p. 108]

    Mostly introspective, lower-key fare fills out the album's remainder, resulting in an occasional lag in momentum. This, however, is offset by inventiveness and instrumental wizardry, offering those who accept Follow Me Down's tempting invitation entry into a wonderland of musical riches.
