    Rather than hone the traditional Appalachian discipline, the sensualist singer explores the possibilities of acoustic/roots music--conjuring songscapes, erotic tableau and enough tension to hold listeners transfixed throughout Follow Me Down.

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

    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. Granted it was 80s Dylan not 60s Dylan but still...… Expand
