Jenny Lewis, the reigning queen of quirk-country, recently dropped her latest, Acid Tongue. The smooth and streamlined sophomore effort relies heavily on the raw beauty of her scraping vocals and slick classic country infused with blues and gospel. Flexing her impressively well connected synergy muscle has led to new collaborations with Chris Robinson and She and Him's Zooey Deschannel and M. Ward. Oh, and someone named Elvis Costello. The former blossoming, ginger-haired child star (of Troup Beverly Hills 90210 fame) has blossomed into a thorny scarlet rose with the lyrical chops and arrangement sculpting skills to prove it.
And below, evidence that I should have caught a plane to California on September 13th to see Miss Lewis at the Echo in L.A.
