Seems like I've waited forever for this album to arrive.
1 It's All a Lie
2 Lay Your Head Down
3 In Your Back
4 The Harder Ships of the World
5 It Ain't No Crime
6 Where No Endings End
7 Liberty
8 Between the Flatland and the Caspian Sea
9 Caspia
Supposedly a 10th track on an import version but I've also read that wasn't true, even if advertised. Still, I'd love to have bonus tracks- pricey iimports or not.
From Blue Note Records:
Over the course of four previous records — including Not Going Anywhere (2003) & Nolita (2004) — New York and Paris-based artist Keren Ann has racked up accolades for original compositions that put a fresh perspective on the age-old art of songwriting.
The arrangements and productions of Keren Ann are ripe with subtle surprises, imbued with an organic character that belies the scrutiny with which she refined the album. “Lay Your Head Down” is propelled by handclaps, harmonica, and a mix of legato and pizzicato strings, all rolling beneath a circling guitar riff and blissful vocal. Gossamer choral vocals waft through lines of trumpet and glassine piano on “Liberty,” while “It Ain’t No Crime” lumbers forward in heavy boots, dirty guitars, and distorted drums churning in a dark, pensive vortex. Cuts like “The Harder Ships of the World” and “It’s All a Lie” reveal new facets of her evolving artistry.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KZRO1I/?tag=imwan-20
