UncutThis follow-up feels less homemade, but just as delicately adventurous. [Oct 2009, p.108]
-
This is a delightful record, plain and simple.
-
Clocking in at less than 33 minutes to ensure your left gagging for more, Sweet Heart Rodeo is a near faultless blend of Landes’ country roots and the urban savvy of her Brooklyn base.
-
Sweet Heart is beguiling, warm and wise, but it begs for a good kick in the ribs.
-
She makes us hold tight for the entire time, shaking and bucking the whole way, but never gives us a chance to let go. For such a short set, Sweet Heart Rodeo catches the listener off guard an awful lot.
