This is the most honest and best country music album to come out of Nashville in a decade. Wonderful! Buy it! You need it! You will be glad you did! Marty Stuart!
Erja Lyytinen, a pocket dynamo often referred to as Finland’s Queen Of The Slide Guitar. She had also been tagged as her homeland’s answer to Bonnie Raitt. Though flattering, neither epithet is entirely accurate. Lyytinen can play the Dobro and is highly accomplished in many different forms of guitar technique – not just bottleneck blues.
This album is a little difficult to place. It is a complex tapestry of ideas and themes that blend into something both compelling and complex. Take for instance, the first track- Wilderland. It sets the tenor for the rest of the album and it is a moody piece... It resonates with its musical simplicity and is buoyed by Anais Mitchell's unique voice. It follows in the best traditions of American folk. Simply put: This is an amazing album and you should buy it.......
