lasttimeIsawyouMar 2, 2006unfortunately chan's been smokin' too long and it finally got to her. her voice isn't as good as it was before and the spare instrumentation of her past two records is sorely missed. if you haven't heard "the covers record" or "you are free" then go buy them now!

JamieSJan 27, 2006A big disappointment after so long. Average songs, not a lot of effort in the performances, and the band make her sound completely boring. What a mess.

TomDJan 26, 2006i don't get it...this is just generic singer/songwriter territory. there aren't any memorable hooks or clever lines, and the songs are just bland. why does everyone think this is amazing? oh wait...marketing...

Aside from one or two bore-me-ups, this is an album of understated perfection.

It doesn't take a genius to see that this is a wicked concept on paper: Marshall's got the voice and the vibe to make it work, but there's a nagging sense that it wasn't properly planned out.

UncutSimilarly to Lambchop's Nixon, it weaves together new and old, soul and country, black and white, love and hate, to form an understated masterpiece. [Feb 2006, p.74]
