Wellspring

2003
Blue Corn Music
Produced by: Rich Brotherton

“The possessor of a gorgeous voice that is both pure and earthy, the Mississippi-born singer/songwriter has, in Wellspring, delivered a roots-oriented album that begs to be heard, right from the opening Trace. An acoustic offering, it paints a description of Natchez farm life and sharecropping memories that is stunning in its sheer simplicity. From there, she moves around the South both lyrically and in terms of reference, strutting ably throughout her Texas Two Step but reserving her most potent observations for Mistress, the story of an ill-used slave. Remarkable.”
