Review

Dirty Linen (p.66) - "[The album] comes as a revelation, an instant classic and one of those rare albums that defies genre and generation."
No Depression (p.118) - "Projecting a sense of isolation that is as powerful as its sense of place....It's the kind of work that can be haunting and comforting at the same time."

Title Note

Personnel: Martha Scanlan (vocals, acoustic guitar); Dirk Powell (electric guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, bass instrument, background vocals); Guy "Fooch" Fischetti (steel guitar); Michael Juan Nunez (dobro); Riley Baugus (banjo); Gina Forsyth (fiddle); Glenn Patscha (piano, background vocals); Amy Helm (drums, background vocals); Levon Helm (drums).

A former singer for the Reeltime Travelers, Martha Scanlan has a delicate voice that's complimented by an empathetic backing band that includes roots royalty in the father and daughter drum duo of Levon and Amy Helm, as well as various mandolin, fiddle, and banjo players. Scanlan performs a sensitive cover of Bob Dylan's "Went to See the Gypsy" and does a rocking "Get Right Church" that's full of gospel fire, but she really shines on the songs she sings solo, backed only by her own acoustic guitar, such as "Set Me Up High" and "Ten Thousand Charms."
