Q, I reckon you will either delight in it or hate it. Nice female vocalist and good players taking American traditional song and chucking loads of beats, samples and processing into the mix. Closer to Nick Cave or what Ani Difranco did with Utah Phillips stuff on 'The Past Didn't Go Anywhere' than to any of revival inspired folk rock groups. I bought a copy when it first came out because it was bruited by Froots magazine as one of the most important folk releases of 1999, 'taking traditional music into a new millenium'. I think I have played it twice. The fact that it is out of print seems to indicate that, for the folk world, this experiment from Mojave Desert sank like a stone.
