Troubled By The Fire
Laura Veirs
If Gillian Welch floats your boat, chances are Laura Veirs will, too, though her take on homespun Appalachia is tempered by modernist tendencies. Anyone familiar with 1999's eponymous guitar-and-voice-only debut will be taken aback here, ditching much of its thorny agit-folk for dreamily intoxicating balladry, sawing strings and near-perfect vocal phrasing. Opener Lost At Seaflower Cove and Tiger Tattoos are flawless backwoods country pickers, while Danny Barnes duets on the folksy Ballad Of John Vogelin and jazz legend/sometime Jeff Buckley collaborator Bill Frisell provides classy fretwork. Scintillating stuff. - Uncut - 1. Lost at Seaflower Cove2. Bedroom Eyes3. The Ballad of John Vogelin4. Song My Friends Taught Me5. Cannon Fodder6. Tom Skookum Road7. Tiger Tattoos8. A Shining Lamp9.
