The sultry vocals of Margo Timmins ring true on this 3 year old album. Have been behind the curve on this band which for years was my favorite. My favorite track would have to be the album title One Soul Now but all the tracks fit into what I would describe as a warm blanket.
My enjoyment of this band started with an NPR special of all the different versions Blue Moon, the vocals were haunting and the music had an edgy blues feel. Once on the Tonight Show, Jay Leno said that they were the coolest band in America. Major interest in the band never materialized because the best tracks tended to be covers of traditional country music with slow blues inflection.
The 20th anniversary edition of the seminal The Trinity Sessions was just released. The album guest list includes Natalie Merchant, a singer who in my opinion sounds very much like Margo Timmons.
One Soul Now is an album that I highly recommend, give it 25 out of 30 points.
