As a man I can tell you that her "carefully displayed headlights" are not enough to attract me, and her voice is off-putting especially on this cut. . . I love your phrase, btw, and I quoted it as an homage. . .  |

I like this overall but her voice does not really fit it. To new ageish.

One of the worst things my ears have ever been subjected to.
Simply horrible.

 Vocals + Guitar/banjo = most excellent (8); muddy bass and flat drums = marginal at best (0). Well she got the important parts right. 8+0 = 8. |

I absolutely love her voice. I wish she would record more often.

Wonder what the "bad voice" posters think about Tom Waits or Lou Reed? You like what you like, but for my .02, when making art perfect is not always the desired choice. Not for daily intake but I'll give it a 6.

I am not so sure if this is criticism of a vocal style or simply the adept use of a thesaurus. |

I think her voice (on this anyway) sounds a lot like the guy in Wide Spread Panic! I know, crazy, right? But that's what I thought when she first started singing!

At first I thought it was Beth Orton . . . not that it would be a bad thing if it was.

Not being raised up with the maniacs I hear her voice like it is now. And what I hear is an excellent soulful singer. Mavis Staples sings background here. That's the class we're talking about here. Apart from that - the heavy guitar work is great. |

I know! What happened to her voice? I used to like her but she sounds awful now. Ack! Make it stop! |

Interesting scoring criteria... I cant imagine what song could ever get a 10. As much as I like my favorites, I don't think I would want to listen to them 100% of the time, it would kinda ruin the "eclectic" part. |

If you get close to your monitor and look slightly cross-eyed so that one of the columns of emoticons from the right eye's visual field overlaps with one of the columns from the left field, the emoticon assemblage will become the only "real" looking part of your binocular field; everything else recedes to a blurry second plane. Moving your head from side to side enhances the illusion of spatial depth.

That said, she looks pretty good.
Her voice can be quite irksome sometimes, but that is a nice photo of her. (I know - that's a shallow comment) |
