Ten tracks of folk rock that has head some blues in its day, from a seasoned talent that we haven't heard from in a while. Not a "chick singer" with a band, Ms. Hackett can hold her own on the singing end of things and on the guitar playing too (Instrumental in D" is proof of that). The standard love tunes are introspective but not sappy, plus there's a Robert Johnson cover ("Walkin' Blues" with some nice 'n' dirty slide work) and a couple of topical anti-war tunes.
