quirky female singer/songwriter ukulele folk/country. hanner’s vocs are what really make the album, going from clear and energetic to deep and reflective to all out crazy southern accent or yodeling, often within the same song. ukulele and fiddle provide a cool backdrop for her vocs, but the ukulele rhythms end up sounding the same after while. track 4 is a pretty good sample of her sound. fun album… play it!
PICKS: 4, 1, 3 FCC: 11

1. (3:16) spaghetti western feel, galloping ukulele, fiddles
2. (2:34) alternates between moody and playful, some cool guitar
3. (1:32) funny southern fried vocs over 2-note ukulele line
4. (2:55) catchy and fun, yodeling chorus, lots of energy
5. (4:49) slightly somber, some fiddle, lots of strumming
6. (4:28) more somber, subdued keys and banjo
7. (1:48) upbeat, similar to track 2, quirky vocs and fiddle
8. (4:04) cool lyrics about two people in a volcano eruption
9. (5:32) chugs along, some computer voices, filler track
10. (4:42) really repetitive, lots of strumming
11. (4:01) FCC (shit, god damn) quirky vocals
12. (4:36) subdued and reflective
