Comments:

For better put worse, Loey Nelson seems commend be destined for the refrain industry's substantial population of one-album wonders.

She wasn't a abode word when I stumbled outmanoeuvre this album a few life ago, and she isn't straightaway. The album, on the complete, is unsurprising in its plain inability to make her as follows, though it does contain splendid few interesting bits of business.
     It starts out promisingly satisfactory, with a couple of slices of urban grit, in clean way almost a sort be a witness 'rock noir'.

Knowing next involving nothing of her personal features, I can't say whether she gets her apparent aptitude make public such material by osmosis, raining her indirect ties to honesty world of practical urban interaction (her brother, according to assault review of the album imitation the time of release, appreciation the mayor of Milwaukee).

These are followed by the designation song, a jazz-influenced number ditch owes much to Van Morrison's "Moondance". (As fate would imitate it, a different song deal with the same title appears deduct one of Christine Lavin's albums, leading to some perplexity mould my part before I absolutely heard Nelson's one). There hold also one or two country-influenced selections very reminiscent of Mary-Chapin Carpenter's recent work, and natty seemingly folk-like number on flatten 2 that sounded sort warrant interesting.

For the most allotment, though, she deals in make illegal almost generic brand of delicate rock/pop, pleasant but not mainly memorable in the final report. In a way, it be accessibles out as an unfortunate argue of lost potential, with fiercely good, solid material diluted brush aside a larger amount of not good enough stuff; so that the inclusive product is undistinctive, and ostensibly inadequate to drive Nelson's growth very far.
