Very nice, very chill. Good to have in the background, felt like good traveling music if one were to go on a road trip.

It's.... something alright!
It feels like great music to listen to live, in a club or venue. Her voice has a lot of emotion and it's full-bodied nature is something that carries a tune. I think overall I'd like to listen to this over a speaker as opposed to headphones as I feel like that would really help to give the album its proper space to flourish and fill the room with its ambiance. It's pretty okey-doke. Nothing invigorating but definitely something that's got a much bigger flourish for the room itself.

So I don't hear lyrics, but the beginning part of the album sounded like we were in the Mississippi bayou and crawled our way west into the blazing sun with our pouch of water running dry. Stopped in a city and turned our eyes north toward the wet and slick streets of a northern metropolis and found naught but woe and worry wherever we went. 

If I were to say what "Americana" felt like to me, this album would come to mind. 

The harmonica wailed, and so did my ears.
