Query: Phenomenal debut from Iowa folkie

A masterful debut album, ranging from delicate balladry to raw, bluesy scorchers. Brown has a rich, dark, sexy voice, and her delivery is sometimes quirky but always perfectly timed. She's a fine songwriter too; her lyrics are direct, understated and full of vivid imagery. Fans of Gillian Welch, The Be Good Tanyas and other alt-folk acts will find lots to like on this album. Bo Ramsey adds another dimension with his supple, fluid guitar work. Listeners familiar with Lucinda Williams' "Essence" release know his work already. Bo is also the longtime collaborator of Greg Brown, Iowa folk veteran and, incidentally, Pieta's father. Good bloodlines aside, this album holds up just fine on its own merits. A must-have and one of the year's most promising debuts.
