...).
Opening track "It's all a lie" sets the tone: Keren Ann's sultry voice half singing, half talking over very slow and sparse but vaguely bluesy music. (Other tracks such as "'Harder ships of the world" have similar sparse sound).
Track two "Layyour head down", comparatively speaking, moves at a fast lick with hand claps and harmonica and Keren Ann sounding like she should really be with the Velvet Underground. "Where no endings end" is also good - like the opener, it's sparse but this time with a plcked guitar and a feel of a Parisian comes across as almost medieval in its austerity.
Other times it sounds like bands such as Logh or even Mogwai, but without the noisy bits (except "It ain't no crime", which features howling guitars, a heavy very slow blues rhythm and muffled vocals).
The closest it gets to pop is track eight, "Between...

...Now this is really nice. It's a mostly live album without all the pitfalls that 'live' often brings and that's because Ann Peebles is fantastic and the band matches her. The smoky edged Soul in Ann's voice, which has matured since her seventies 'Hi' recordings, shines all the way through this album, speaking of experience and an un-named wisdom that is there in all real Soul music.
This the kind of timeless album that will push classic Soul music further towards the acceptability and credibility that Jazz has enjoyed for so long. Ann performs a few of her classics, including the sublime 'I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down' and of course 'I Can't Stand The Rain' both done in a different style to the original.
