    The result is considerably removed from the country-informed folk that dominated (but never completely encapsulated) her earlier work; it's both her subtlest and jazziest effort to date, certainly sonically but also in its songwriting, which tends more than ever toward long, fluid melodic lines and loose, open-ended structures.

    She's pushed her own skills as a vocalist, drawing more from her jazz side even when singing pop or country. In the process she's created some of her finest art, even if it frequently sounds too casual for that word to apply.

    There's a difference between being confessional and being self-centered that relate to one's perception of the audience. Sproule presumes we care, but it's not always clear why we should.
  4. She's good when not covering Mary Margaret O'Hara. But you'll need to hear through the still-life mannerisms to get to the good stuff.
