LA RECENSIONE
If nowadays a singer-songwriter album (even if American) can still make sense, it is thanks to works like this, where the attempt is to give a less obvious veneer to simple songs evidently born for guitar and voice.
And when there is class and talent, it is enough to turn the basic formula into a plural: guitars, one more essentially folk, the other creating peripheral inlays made of 'alternative' sounds; and voices, male and female, alternating and overlapping.
This way, it avoids the pitfalls of repetitiveness and, even without changing the course of rock history, manages to produce an enjoyable and not trivial album.
