Hmmm like some of her later albums it could take several listenings to get into it. I can't find the liner notes but I think its her brother singing again on a couple of the songs and I wish she would just do all the vocals herself, The songs would be better. I quite like Wild Man though
I heard a brief NPR interview with her this week. As her name was announced, both The Fella and I uttered some exclamation approximating, "Oh, I love her; she's a loonybird."
Unsurprisingly, she comes off in the interview as delightful, intelligent, open, and pleasant. The song about the Yeti is pretty loonybirdish and lovely.
It is darn loonybirdish. The first few times I listened mainly to the music and overall atmospherics; on about the 4th listen I focused on the lyrics, and they do give you a chuckle. Silly in spots. The snowman-love lines especially.
