Back to Me

VINYL FORMAT. 7.6 on Pitchfork. "Back To Me is the second album from this 26 year-old Ottawa born singer/songwriter. Her first album Failer caused quite a rumpus and led to her opening for the likes of Bob Dylan and The Stones. 200 live dates and two years down the line, she's back in the studio, keen as mustard and not a little jaded. Ms Edwards is a talented songwriter with a voice to match. She surely hits the spot with "Away", summing up the record's theme of yearning for home and absent friends. On "In State" she gives a hardnosed account of a tragic Jim Thompson-esque character and, like "What Are you Waiting For", it has a driving beat that's going to make you wind down the windows and crank up the stereo." -BBC
