    We'll Never Turn Back is the kind of album we need at the moment, one that doesn't flinch from the tradition but doesn't present it as a museum piece either.

    If her album is musically uneven at times, her artistry and strength continue to shine as undimmed beacons.

    Her great success is making these protest songs personal, and she does it in a most profoundly moving way.
