The album stays in a folky comfort zone, not attempting to challenge the norms in order to set the band apart. However, that doesn\u2019t make Rose\u2019s voice any less emotional or the chords any less bittersweet.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy how the album tells a story from start to finish. Susanna begins the album with a song of longing and tribulation then tells the story of a break up. After that point, Susanna sings to herself (see the song \u201cSong to Myself\u201d) about reassurance and rebuilding her life. The whole album has a simple premise and a humble execution. There\u2019s nothing extraordinary, but that adds to its charm.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Sun Kil Moon, Kings of Convenience, Jose Gonzalez<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 1 (Working Girl), 6 (Lullaby), 3(Old Broken Heart)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Shane Blair on 02\/18\/16 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A simple folk album with a sweet, soft tone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1609,"featured_media":42260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[2934,4285,4284],"class_list":["post-41256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-shane-blair","tag-snowbound","tag-susanna-rose"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rsz_susanna_rose_snowbound.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1609"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
