Firstly, this disc is blessed with an evocative title, and its song of the same name delivers the sounds to match. Where do we place Eilen Jewell, this country miss who also sounds like a darkly mysterious rock’n’roller, a blues-gal, a purveyor of garage exotica? She appears to be quite naturally gravitating toward several scenes simultaneously, well-versed in the manners of each form. Jewell sings and plays acoustic guitar, also taking the occasional harmonica solo.
In a recorded career that only began in 2005, Jewell has already been marinated by a variety of styles for each of her album projects. Now, she’s refining her songwriting into an individualist composite of myriad genres, crafting works which resonate with her own personality. It’s clear that she’s no dilettante, and that her understanding of rock’n’roll, gospel, folk, country and rockabilly has a profound depth. — BBC
