Add Date: February 8
Artist: Jessica Lea Mayfield
Album: Tell Me
Label: Nonesuch
Genre: Folk, rock
Comments: This is one of the better folk albums released within the past few months. Jessica Lea Mayfield is a brilliant songwriter who is able to garner a unique and exceptional sound in an otherwise over-saturated indie-folk scene.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Mayfield in concert, and she certainly puts on a great show. There are parts of this album that I can't help but wish I were hearing it live. The guitar solos seems to come out of nowhere, and they add this beautiful chaotic element to Mayfield's ultra-tempered vocals.
Many of the songs on Tell Me are catchier than most folk bands are able to achieve while still clearly falling within the realm of folk music (see track 5, "Grown Man"). The album has a nice sway from serious to happy, from fast to slow, from melodic to chaotic. This is a fantastic record. Start with 1, 5, 3 and 2.
