a couple of days ago or three that I have received via the "Amazon" the highly anticipated new work of my beloved Tift Merritt, and although I've only heard a couple of times and it is too early to appreciate it in perspective, gave me a wonderful feeling again.
not say well that is this woman and her music to get me as it has done, but the truth is that since the decubrÃ, just by chance, his music, his voice and his songs have caught me completely.
This album has an intimate, sometimes reflective, I guess that permeated in part, as the very Tift Merritt says in the acknowledgments of the disc, "the ghosts who came to visit and are part of the album" .-
The album, which was recorded in the "Overdub Lane Studios in Durham , North Carolina, is produced by Tucker Martine. Tift, who sings and plays guitar and piano, is accompanied by its usual Zeke Hutchins, drums, and Jay Brown on bass, musicians who have been with her whole life almost, and also by Scott McCall (guitar), Gregg Readling (piano and Hammond B3), Eyvind Kang (violin and viola), Steve Moore (keyboards and trombone), Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitars), Hans Teuber (sax, flute and clarinet), Thomas Marriott (trumpet); Gretchen Yanover (cello) and Jim James (harmonies) .-
As I say, the album has an intimate tone, with lyrics that speak of love, heartbreak, and the complications of relationships, or even death, as the final "After today "and he highlights superb original songs like" Mixtape ", which has some very horn arrangements as Bill Withers and 70's soul, and the letter revolves around someone who uses cassette tape of the entire life as the perfect vehicle to declare his love to another person through the songs he recorded in it, "Six more days of rain", estpenda song that seems to speak of how difficult it is to keep alive a relationship and to keep it running , "Feel of the world" beautiful song that has the support of Jim James of My Morning Jackett, "Never talk about it", another precious song about confinement in a relationship, "All The Reasons We Do not Have to fight", great song that tells to perfection an attempt to put aside the discussion and focus on all their reasons for not discussing, or "Papercut", a song that tells of a painful relationship .-
But of all the songs, which highlight greatly is the second song, "Engine to turn" one of those songs that grabs you from the first listen, with its wonderful melody, their delicious simplicity and great sound of this woman, and also Pride has a letter: "I do not know how to repair the world, not fix it myself as it seems we both need a little love, it seems we both need a little help" sing the first verse of the song, then sing "I'm trying to start the engine, I'm trying to smile through my tears." Wonderful song that almost worth the whole disc.

Finally, another great album by this wonderful woman with this fourth album has become one of the best artists of today, and take into account the future, it comes from a long time to step firm .-
