Wonderful CD

"I heard "Insensitive" on Pandora Radio and was hooked. Found the CD in a used CD store, so I bought it. I've just about worn it out. Jann Arden says one of her inspirations growing up was Karen Carpenter. Mine, too. Arden's voice isn't as velvety or as purely perfect as Carpenter's. Certainly the arrangements aren't as lush. But Arden's voice is more immediate. She seems more worldly, been-there-done-that, though never too jaded to sing her signature "Good Mother." If you enjoy Karen Carpenter, Joni Mitchell, Dar Williams, Sara Bareilles, Anna Nalick, Beth Orton, et al, you will probably enjoy Jann Arden."
