They Say...
Newcomer Kathy Compton seems unafraid to mix things up on her debut album Recovering Humans, shifting from Sheryl Crow-styled loose American rock, to Sarah McLachlan's airy atmospheres, from Alanis Morrissette's shivering girl-power to Ani DiFranco's honest independence. The production by Kevin McNoldy (Robin & Linda Williams, Clare Quilty) is radio friendly and beyond post-modern, with Compton's vocals shifting in and out of doubled harmony, passing from an old transistor radio to in-your-ear breathiness. While her blend of influences and contemporaries might seem disparate, the line of strength and understated confidence in Compton's songwriting and gently growled vocals holds the album together amid the drum loops and quietly distorted guitars. The songs shift from introspective love songs to the circus-like mini opera of "The Big Song," each one thoroughly thought out and well executed.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
Rolling Stone
