Feist: The Reminder



I just got this one and can't stop playing it. Feist (primarily singer-songwriter and guitarist Leslie Feist) has put together an irresistable collection of songs on her latest album The Reminder. Tinges of R&B, folk, blues, soul, rock and gospel make this a foot-tapping, highly-satisfying listening experience. Her roots in punk rock give her approach just enough of an edge, while the groove never strays. Her take on Nina Simone's "See-Line Woman" is like being in a Baptist church on a Sunday morning. Not challenging, this is just "put it on and enjoy the ride" kind of music.
