Give her a chance

"The girly voice thing sometimes plagues old Nanci Griffith work as well, but both artists have a lot more to say than their voices suggest. I highly suggest you find whatever local coffeehouse or intimate setting is featuring Stacy Earle. Their set was one of the most unusual, intimate, and intense experiences you may have. Stacy invited the audience to come around the corner to the piano, and stand with her while she sang "The Note." She thanks her audience with hugs. She's in your face when she sings about almost losing her son in an accident. Then listening to her album will make sense, girly voice and all."

"Didn't like this at first due to "girly" voice on some tracks, and it was in my overflow/dispose of rack, but recently heard a track off it on the radio (Bob Harris - BBC Radio 2) and decided to revisit. That annoying "girly" voice is still there on some tracks but there is also some good songwriting and musicianship here, Mark Stuart sounds like a young Buddy Miller, so maybe I won't throw it out after all. It's growing on me...."
