A class album that gets overlooked, perhaps because it isn't under the PJ Harvey name. Her bluesy roots are accompanied really well by Parish's guitar playing and it's a welcome return after the more electro-based To Bring You My Love. The highlight for me is probably the cover of Peggy Lee's Is That All There Is?, a wonderful song. There's a new album from the two of them on March 30th, can't bleedin' wait.
You've also reminded me that this is the next album to do in my discog thread, i swear i'll get round to it when i get rid of all the essays and lab reports.
