We Say...
Journalist, artist and college teacher Dougher is a Portland scene fixture — she's played in a bunch of Pacific Northwest bands like Cadallaca and the Crabs, helped get the city's beloved Rock 'N' Roll Camp for Girls started and runs the Cherchez La Femme label. She's also a marvelous songwriter of the singer-guitarist-keyboardist stripe. Her spare, lithe solo debut, from 1999, is a little wonder of perception and tunefulness; she sings about traveling and escaping and drinking and falling out of love and Bella Abzug, and throws in a more-or-less earnest cover of the Eagles' "Take It to the Limit."

They Say...
The wry, thoughtful songs on Sarah Dougher's solo debut address friends and lovers in various degrees of geographical and emotional dislocation. Her guitar- and piano-based sound and unadorned alto are reminiscent of early Liz Phair, but Dougher is a more explicitly political songwriter. So where "Moving" takes a lover to task for refusing to build a life in one place, and "40 Hours" celebrates its narrator's own pleasure in running away, "Everywhere West" debunks the romantic mythology of female pioneers in the old West. Occasionally Dougher's politics outshine her craft: "The Day Bella Abzug Died" is a rousing feminist campfire song, but seems thin and didactic compared to her subtler work. In addition to its eleven originals, Day One features a languid cover of the Eagles' "Take It to the Limit" which blends surprisingly well with Dougher's own songs.
