I was a little worried when I heard the first few tracks off the album, but live she is still a veritable machine! And the new songs really work in a live environment. However, I've only seen her solo, or in a duo with Rachel Baiman. Not sure what I'd think of the songs in a band situation. However, if you can manage to forget she is one of the best flatpickers out there and just accept the songs for being from a singer-songwriter, then she is head and shoulders above most of her contemporaries. I felt the same when the I'm With Her album came out: I'd seen all three ladies solo before and once on their first tour. The album was a lot more mainstream folk-country than I might have wanted, but it's still a great album, well-played, with excellent harmonies.
