One of the Best Albums of 2014 —Downbeat
Mary Flowerâs contralto voice and confident playing of guitars and dobros on this solo album square an abiding interest in folk tradition with empathy for the blues. using even-tempered resolve, this Portlander mixes lyricism and a soupcon of sensuality in captivating original music. âCanât Take It With Youâ has her offering witty reflections on cutting the mortal cord, while âDelta Dreamâ finds her singing about rural life in Louisiana with an understanding well beyond that of any tourist.Several fascinating instrumentals sustain a balance between bluesy restlessness and playfulnessâdig those lap-slide dobros. At all times Flower communicates the weight of her sense of conviction.
