    When you strip back the eccentric arrangements and lush production, Watkins can still deliver.

    She's created a sound that's gritty and determined to avoid clichés.

    ht Sun is a bold album, and much of it seems to be about casting off the comfortable. But when it works, it works very well.

    Overall this disc is a well-made breeze of strong songs and great playing, but the moments of fence-sitting hold it back.

    Sun Midnight Sun, which deftly combines all these forces--bluegrass, folk, indie rock, pop, country--into something that sounds smooth and comfortable in its identity, where others might just sound jumbled.
