Critical reception
Thom Jurek at AllMusic praises "her literate American gothic songs about wasted lives, desolate characters who roam the highways like ghosts, shattered dreams, and frustrated expectations." [1]
Jon Lusk's BBC review liked " her searing honesty, gift for gritty stories and willingness to acknowledge the darker side of life, without fear." [2]
gollark: Yep, a few came.
gollark: https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2019/10/on-quantum-supremacy/Interesting article related to the quantum supremacy thing - apparently IBM ran the same thing on classical computers in a few days, rather than the cited 10000 years.
gollark: It still has a much better e-ink panel than any more DIY-usable ones which consumers seem to be able to get.
gollark: I have a ~2016 basic one lying around somewhere.
gollark: Yep. The tablets are branded Kindle Fire I think.
