Young Man in America [ Cadiz Music / CD - released 20/Feb/2012 ] For her follow-up to 2010's stunning folk-opera Hadestown she tones down the scale a little yet offers something equally startling: a modern folk record that snaps and sparkles with energy, daring to take on some formidable themes in the process. |
