The singer-songwriter runs right into ruin yet again.

We Say...
It's simple, really. Guitar. Drums. Voice. How can you go wrong? And yet so many musicians mess it up. Nina Nastasia has rarely recorded without the help of a few other accoutrements; violin, accordion and piano have all added haunting atmosphere to her stark portraits of relationships in ruin. But on You Follow Me, that's all there is. Guitar. Drums. Voice.
Luckily, the middle part of that guitar-drums-voice equation, Jim White, has been part of Nina Nastasia's band since just before 2002's excellent Run to Ruin and here the Dirty Three's talented percussionist takes center stage — filling in holes, playing alongside and even just enjoying the silence that Nastasia leaves in her songs. His brushwork on "There Is No Train," especially, deserves mention, as it accomplishes all three of the above in only two-and-a-half minutes.
The set's highlight? There are two schools of thought about that. "The Day I Would Bury You" is perhaps the record's best song, with Nastasia reconsidering a relationship as it slowly, inexorably moves to its conclusion. But the climax of You Follow Me is "Late Night," wherein Nastasia builds a soft/loud structure, on which she lays down her most powerful vocal on the record over White's pounding drums. Either way, you can't go wrong — something that goes for all of You Follow Me's ten tracks. By stripping down even further, Nastasia has revealed what just may be her masterpiece.
