ELIZA LYNN - Haven (2009)

Working with Nashville producer/guitarist Thomm Jutz [Nanci Griffith, Mary Gauthier], and a core group of Music City's finest players (including Griffith drummer Pat McInerney and longtime Ricky Skaggs bassist Mark Fain), Lynn hits a deeply traditional vein only hinted at on her two previous critically acclaimed releases, 2005's Frisky Or Fair and The Weary Wake Up from 2007. Inspired and energized by her overseas successes, Lynn headed straight to Nashville and into Jutz' TJ Tunes Studios to record the album of her career. From the sultry groove established on the disc's opening track, "Hard To Let It Hurt," it's clear that, armed with the strongest and most personal songs she's ever written, the singer is taking no prisoners this time out.Built on a sturdy Appalachian foundation and soaked in the blues, Lynn's evocative singing voice, which has drawn comparisons to everyone from Bonnie Raitt to Peggy Lee, is the driving force and centerpiece of Haven. Her interpretation of "I'll Fly Away" transforms that gospel classic into a stirring, minor-key lament, and Lynn performs similar magic on the album's closing song, a bare-bones take on the traditional Irish hymn, "Be Thou My Vision." But, from "Rush Of The Fall," a poignant waltz-time ode to the loneliness of the road, to the banjo-driven, back-and-forth strle of "Pulling Of Tides," it's her own soul-penetrating songs that carry the day.

"Enormous talent" proclaims Putumayo of Eliza Lynn, who sings with a "big, room-filling voice [and] wields her guitar and banjo against a sensual, sassy backdrop of jazz-flavored blues, old-time country folk and soul". - Harp Magazine
