UncutJul 9, 2015A deft patchwork of stories and impressions largely drawn from first-hand experience. [Aug 2015, p.72]
-
Jul 20, 2015The richness of Crain’s voice and the elegant simplicity of the musical arrangements bring drama to these stories. And the striking imagery of her lyrics finds beauty and pathos in the details of downtrodden lives.
