Listening to Ann's irresistable voice and incredible guitar work here is akin to sitting down to read a big, fat letter from an old friend -- rich with familiarity and ease, and full of love, humor, a few of those 'aw-damn' love songs, and songs that explore both the smooth and rough edges of our lives. Compelling, introspective, and all acoustic, in a folky/ jazzy/ bluesy vein.
