KATHLEEN EDWARDS
Back To Me [independent]
It's a very fine line between the true thing (The Jayhawks) and that which merely sounds like it (Ryan Adams).Kathleen Edwards, bless her Canuck heart, belongs squarely in the former category.... pretty much any of the tunes on Back To Me, her second album, could be filed under Lucinda & The Heartbreakers (Tom’s not Johnny’s).  The way the camera loves some actors, the microphone loves her voice, and when that voice is deployed on something as delicately weathered as ‘Old Time Sake’ ("Of all the things that you could choose to say/‘Baby come home with me for old time’s sake’"), it’s hard not to cave. She excels at love songs stitched with drawn-from-life details: copied keys, unanswered phones, the detritus that litters the no man’s land between men and women.  Back To Me groans with sweet-but-embittered songs like ‘Summerlong’ and ‘What Are You Waiting For’, populated by characters that could be mutually distrustful but fatally attracted grifters, drifters, shysters and heisters. - 8/10 Hot Press

"When she's on, her tunes suggest an unavoidable presence, as on the opening one-two punch of "in state" and "back to me," which recalls Lucinda Williams' "joy" in its bar-ready, man-defying feistiness. but Edwards' mix of bravado and beauty is epitomized by "what are you waiting for?" a midtempo rocker in which she gracefully harmonizes, "you've gotta be fucking kidding me."  - Rolling Stone
