I was given this cd by someone who thought I'd "love" it because I like Indigo Girls, Leonard Cohen, Cheryl Wheeler, and Richard Shindell. Prior to this, I'd never heard of Kathleen Edwards.
Frankly, I didn't find anything special here. I don't know anything about the artist, but these are the sort of songs I'd expect from a 20-something girl who hasn't gotten everything she wanted the way she wanted it -- maybe singing on open mike night at the trendy coffee shop down the road from her flat. The melodies are simplistic, repetitive, slightly hypnotic (but not in the good way). I suppose you could compare her vocally to Lucinda Williams. They both have that breathy, slightly flat, bored and a little depressed tone.
Maybe I'm not angry enough at men, at society, at life itself. Maybe I'm just not determined enough to be bitter, angry, depressed, and angsty. Whatever it is, I just don't get the appeal. I gave this cd a half dozen listens, thinking maybe it would grow on me or I'd at least understand why the person who gave it to me liked it. All it did was make me feel tired, bored, and irritable. I don't listen to music to be depressed. I'd give it three stars for the songs alone, but the artists voice just doesn't strike me as very good, so two stars it is.

I played this one once and have not returned to it. It's no "Failer" for sure, but I do like the title track. Guess I'll have to play the whole CD again, but I usually find that if a record doesn't take grab me the first time it won't on future spins.
