Comment:
Another artist I can't claim to be among my favorites; too much of her music falls into the standard-issue Lilith Faire folk-pop ghetto for me. Still, as far as female singer-songwriters go, some of her material is remarkably strong, with some pretty cutting lyrics and the occasional hook that really lingers. I'd pretty much been oblivious to her career (well, Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry" aside) until seeing Magnolia, where her soundtrack really helped carry the movie. I've since picked up most of her recordings (save her recent Christmas album), and each has a fair number of decent tunes. Stuck with more of the upbeat stuff, but that's certainly not to slag her more introspective, somber numbers. Definitely an artist worth checking out, if only for some Sunday morning brunch music.
Feedback:
Hehe. Love your comments. You like the artists but only a part of their work, and not too much. And you're trying to convince us to check them out, but maybe not. Anyway, AimTe is a personal favorite. I dig her early work better (and by that I'm not implying I stopped liking her after Magnolia). Cheers. Loved your audiobiography, by the way.
Yeah, I know, it can be odd recommending an artist who only has limited appeal to me personally. But for those who are more enamored of this particular genre of folk-based singer-songwriter material, I do recommend her highly, as her songwriting and vocals are head and shoulders above most of what I've heard out there.
Incidentally, sometimes it's the artists whose work I'm not totally in love with who make for the best single-artist mixes. I might not like all their albums, but pick their best 80 minutes and it can make for one pretty great mix. And this is definitely one of those.

Can't profess to know her stuff well, I only own 'Whatever.' That said this mix prompted me to dig the cd out to listen to 'Stupid Thing' missing here but I love the lines in the song, "You stupid thing, speaking of course as your dear departed. Oh you stupid thing, it wasn't me that you out smarted."
I checked out a few of her albums from the library a few years back and it didn't leave an impression on me at all. I remembered liking only one song, which coincidentally, you put on your mix: "The Fall Of The World's Own Optimist."
Sunday brunch music? Turn it up and pass the chutney!
I adore The Forgotten Arm, and I'm happy to see Goodbye Caroline on here, as well as Little Bombs.
