May 3, 2017In Jeff Tweedy, singer-songwriter Joan Shelley has surely met her perfect production partner. This, her fourth album, is simply magical.
-
May 3, 2017Shelley’s light is absolutely irrepressible. She is a tremendous talent, poised for a long and productive career in folk music, with a breakthrough into much bigger things very easy to envision.
-
MojoMay 3, 2017Joan Shelley has a trick, at least, of making time disappear, her stately clear voice a rock at which the world flings itself in vain. [Jun 2017, p.86]
-
UncutMay 3, 2017Under Tweedy's almost imperceptible guidance, Shelley has learned to trust her contradictory impulses. Her shyness is amplified, the words more direct.[Jun 2017, p.32]
-
Jun 14, 2017Like her excellent previous album, “Over and Even” (2015), Shelley’s new one is a subtle venture that requires focused listening--put down your phone--to fully appreciate.
-
May 9, 2017While it’s a quieter record than its predecessors, and her ceaseless questions and lacerating self-doubt would seem like the opposite of asserting an artistic identity, Shelley’s absence of imposition only emphasizes her enviable patience and burgeoning tenderness.
-
May 3, 2017The risk of taking that deliberately vintage tack is contrivance, and though this album tows the line occasionally, it never disappears into itself.
