After a decade fronting progressive bluegrass band Crooked Still, Aoife O'Donovan recorded this, her first solo album, and set her sights on an ambitious cross-country festival tour. Her credentials are solid: she sounds cool, breathy, and relaxed whether she is singing thoughtful ballads or country rockers, and possesses impressive songwriting chops, with gently mournful songs reminiscent of Joni Mitchell or Alison Krauss, the latter of whom recorded O'Donovan's song "Lay My Burden Down" on her Paper Airplane album. Aoife's own version opens this set, now dressed up with layers of pedal steel and clonking guitars, and I'd argue it's even better--and that's saying something, given Alison Krauss's gift for reinterpreting other people's songs.
