This is my favourite album by a female artist.
It was her debut album after splitting from Lone Justice (pretty great band in their own right but ultimately a vehicle for Maria to go onto bigger and better things).
First up, I love Maria’s voice. Her voice is so powerful, but crystal clear that is also emotional and a tremendous range. I’ve always liked country rock, and her voice is the epitome of that style.
Throughout her career, she has been praised for her ability to convey deep emotion, with reviewers highlighting her "all-consuming intimacy" and "sensual, soaring" vocal delivery
The album is stunning. Apart from great vocals and musicianship, the songwriting is top draw full of melody and great story telling. Over the years Maria has penned a lot of great songs but this collection is just fantastic. It’s almost like, having left the band she was freed up to totally be herself.
I defy you to hear this and not fall in love with it [First added to this chart: 10/17/2012]
