-
The WireDec 6, 2011Season Of Earth is music rooted deep in the black, black earth and whose only limit is the blue, blue sky. [Oct 2011, p.50]
-
Q MagazineNov 8, 2011There's a little more in the mix here [than in her solo debut album], dabs of lap steel on Babylon and elsewhere, gentle harp flourishes on Song For Next Summer, but this is barely less lovely than its predecessor. [Nov. 2011, p. 127]

-
MagnetNov 11, 2011This compelling album is dominated by a spirit of grace and hope. [#81, p. 53]

UncutOct 18, 2011Compelling in its way, but a bit Isobel Campbell when it should be Joni Mitchell. [Nov 2011, p.81
-
Sep 22, 2011While Seasons on Earth turns out not to be the sort of stoner's delight diehard psych-folkers might be looking for, neither is it looking in any direction other than straight ahead, evocations of another era notwithstanding.
-
Under The RadarNov 9, 2011The intimacy can become suffocating, but on songs such as the "Blackbird"-esque "Even Rain," Baird's delicate touches hit a nerve. [Oct. 2011, p. 108]

Sep 22, 2011Meg Baird, formerly the frontperson of Philadelphia-based psychedelic folk-rockers Espers, is left a little exposed on her own solo album.
