Leaving the June Carter Cash/Jolie Holland sonic template of her last album behind, Grey DeLisle has returned with a stylistically varied effort evoking everyone from Cat Power to Stephen Foster (she actually won a Grammy for her contribution to last year’s BEAUTIFUL DREAMER tribute album) to Willie Nelson to Tom Waits to Bright Eyes. “Joanna,” the second track features castanets, leaving the listener with a Phil Spector/Wall of Sound pleasant aftertaste. “Blue Heart” was recorded live with producer Marvin Etzioni’s teenaged son’s garage band in one take. “Right Now” features Marc Bolan-esque ray-gun guitar splashes. Combine all of that with dirty rockabilly (“Who Made You King”), a Rev. Charlie Jackson cover (“God’s Got It”) and the opening track—a reworking of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” (yes, you read that right)—to arrive at Grey’s distinctive take on Americana … edgy, dynamic, graceful, and eclectic.
