5 out of 5 stars Very raw. Intimate and personal (4.5 stars).......2007-01-26

A terrific little album that explores folk, blues, banjos, and beats (one song, track 3, with an electronic beat that reminds me of Beth Orton). Overall I'd say that her style is her own and it's difficult to compare her with anyone specific. The lyrical content is simple and doesn't leave a great deal to the imagination, but her soulful expressivness more than makes up for it. Solid from begining to end, I'd recomend this album to anyone that wants to feel as if they are part of the album they are listening to, as if she is singing straight to you. I don't know what the Polish poster before me said, but I imagine it was very good.

4 out of 5 stars Niespodzianka.......2005-12-11

Szukacie swiezego, naturalnego, oryginalnego kobiecego spojrzenia na muzycznej scenie? Zapomnijcie o Sheryll Crow, Jewel i dziesiatkach innych rownie banalnych "odkryc" ostatnich lat. Debiutancka plyta Laury Veirs przywraca wiare w bezpretensjonalne, szczere dzwieki i slowa. To jeden z tych unikalnych albumow powstalych nie z mysla o sprzedazy czy zjednaniu sobie szerokiego kregu sluchaczy, lecz z naturalnej potrzeby podzielenia sie z wybranymi swymi prywatnym muzycznymi wizjami. Kolejne plyty tej artystki sa doskonalymi przykladami zachowania wlasnej tozsamosci i swiecie ujednoliconego i zaprogramowanego muzycznego biznesu. Warto po nie siegnac by przeczyscic troche swe uszy.
