Standalone.......2006-04-29

As a rubbish Brit with no knowledge of the Be Good Tanyas, I heard one song of Po' Girl's second album at a friend's house and was hooked. I instantly bought the album, and have recently bought the 1st album, which I find deeper, and more bluesy... The instrumentals are not easy, they are simple for a reason. The words, the tone, the timbre and the organic, live feel to the music makes this one of my favourite CDs, reminiscing to times in Canada. Listen to the words. You'll hear them ;)

New favorite.......2006-04-04

If you are a be good tonyas fan, you will not be disappointed with this one. First listen, I was worried I might get sick of listening through the album as most of the songs are at slow or moderate tempo. Like Tonya's stuff, this is good singer songwriter material. You are not going to buy this for instrumental virtuosity. Solos are simple, just to add some accents to the good song writing. Instrumental accents include banjo (of course with Trish Klein from the Tonyas, harmonica, clarinet, pennywhistle, and whistling. Allison Russell's vocals are very pleasant, a tad bit more bluesy-jazzy than what you'll find in tonyas vocals. Trish Klein provides nice simple pleasant harmonies as she does with the Tonyas. Good original and catchy songs by the talented duo. Looking forward to hearing their second release.

absolutely amazing.......2005-10-24

this is becoming part of my most listened to CDs. It takes alot to break into my rotation and every song is a keeper!!
The sound is like a combo of michelle shocked and norah jones, but with more depth. You will not be disappointed with this choice at all!!!!

Po' Girl--Truly Alternative Music.......2005-08-02

In the wasteland that is crappy mainstream music, Po' Girl is a wonderful oasis. I came to Po' Girl for Trish Klein (of The Be Good Tanyas) and I stayed for Allison Russell. If you want heartless lyrics and over-produced pop music, then don't buy this album. However, if you seek a creative mixture of folk, jazz, bluegrass, and blues, then this first album by Po' Girl is for you.

Simple Wonder.......2004-07-31

An uncomplicated work of art. To say this CD is lovely would understate the way it will ooze in and make you feel fine. Absence of too much lead guitar is a pleasure. Voice and accoustic instruments meld togther in a way that relaxes and mesmerizes that moment. A slow, elegant flavor of the deep South runs through the tracks.
