Aug 10, 2015At its best (the haunting "Ashes," the provocative "I Ain't The Girl," the killer cover of "To Love Somebody" and the title track), Faded Gloryville is a tour de force. Too bad the two weakest songs ("Run A Muck" and "Rundown Neighborhood") appear back-to-back, temporarily breaking the spell at the midway point.

Aug 11, 2015Ultimately, she makes Faded Gloryville sound not so much like a place of diminished opportunity, but endless possibility.
