"Aimee Manns latest album, "Mental Illness" is her hitherto most subdued; almost unplugged acoustic.

"This is a great album with some classic Crazy Horse numbers like Loose Change and Slip Away and Big Time, probably the best song on the album. It's also got an amazing Neil Young ballad called Music Arcade that is a stunner. I heard all of these songs played for the first time in a small bar call..."  [+]  Reply
