AlexWJul 25, 2006Paste magazine needs to stop the indie-snobbery, holier-than-thou attitude, and appreciate the music for what it is. Holland is increadibly unique in this era of over-produced pop divas...her voice is heavenly and her songs showcase her gift for simple melodies and lyrical creativity. I love this chick, and those who disagree and just arrogant music snobs or just plain idiots.

brendanbJul 25, 2006Sorry, don't get it. There is a kind of 'one note' feel to this. Crush in the Ghetto is very alluring but there is nothing else of that standard. I bought the album on the basis of that song AND the other reviews on this site. Maybe I've missed something.

ScottYJun 24, 2006If your into pop music I would say this is not for you, however if you are looking to hear something different and can appreciate talent give it a listen. Even better if you like the alblum see her live..still one the best live shows I've seen.

MattD.May 24, 2006Pretty stuff, but it sounds like she's trying too hard to create a timeless sound. And Sonya Kitchell, at 17, has a better voice than Holland does. Has neatly quirky lyrics.

Entertainment WeeklyProof folk music shouldn't just conjure the past, but also sit down and have a drink with it in the present. [12 May 2006, p.82]

There's a resonant bearing to the set as a whole.

Holland's cry seesaws from yelp to confirmation within tunes of heartache and resilience, her songwriting poetic yet blue-collar and blending that invisible socioeconomic line between genres.
