UncutAnother mature masterpiece from America's finest. [Album Of The Month, March 2002, p.94]
-
Every song contains four or five things that will just whip your head around in disbelief.
-
It's a brave and curious record that, as on 'Bugs', occasionally resembles Willie Nelson fronting Labradford.
-
The album sounds full whether you're in the next room or sitting right beside the speakers. Details -- a horn here, a steel guitar there, a lilting piano figure that appears out of the ether -- fill every cranny in a sound that's still as spacious as Giant Sand's Southwestern soundtracks.
-
A strange delight of a record.
-
'Is A Woman' is a deep, rewarding, frustrating, baffling, engaging experience then, an album that drifts away from you just when you're getting hold of it.
-
One very minimal idea being stretched over 11 songs to the point that it starts to look very washed-out indeed.
