Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Po' Girl Comment: Similar to the Be Good Tanyas recordings (as I expected), but not quite as good. Customer Rating: Summary: The Girls just get better Comment: Home To You is full of gorgeous gospel-blues-swamp tinges, sassy and swaggering, heartfelt, but not in a sappy way; an album that will sweep you up and carry you away. This is probably their most accessible album yet, and a perfect introduction to the Girl's for the uninitiated. As a huge fan of the Po' Girl's previous release, Vagabond Lullabies, it took me a moment to adjust to this new album. What hit me immediately however, was the superior production quality. The girls perfectly pitched harmonies still intertwine like heavenly angels, but here the sound is crisper, cleaner, with those remarkable voices out front, growling and whispered right in your ear. It's a beautiful sound to be sure, befitting a beautiful album. Customer Rating: Summary: Wanderlust flows from the grooves of these albums Comment: Another fragment of road-dust infused heaven from the enormously creative band of vagabond angels that fell to earth in Vancouver.

Editorial Reviews: With its Depression-era name and penchant for framing arrangements with banjo, clarinet, and fiddle, this Canadian quintet (including Trish Klein of the Be Good Tanyas) specializes in contemporary original material that sounds like public-domain traditional. Some of the anachronistic affections sound like a minstrel show, such as the vocal phrasing on the spiritual "'Til It's Gone," but the jaunty ragtime of "Go On and Pass Me By," the delicate latticework of harmonies on "Home to You," the jazzy reverie of "So Lazy," and the country waltz of "Texas" attest to the music's refusal to be bound by categorical restriction. And there's nothing nostalgic about the social conscience displayed in "To the Angry Evangelist," capped by a furious fiddle coda. --Don McLeese
