LIBBY JOHNSON, Annabella (Wrong Records). This is a wondrous debut, perfect in its modest way. The hooks are unassailable, the singing and playing are felt, the arrangements an autumnal cross between Lucinda-bred Americana and kudzu-style indie rock. Traces of everyone from Liz Phair to Chrissie Hynde, Susan Cowsill to Sheryl Crow, can be heard. But ultimately, Johnson ..- who previously made three records with her sister Carrie in a group called 22 Brides ..-brooks no comparisons. Annabella is..... ..- complete and self-possessed. Inspirational lines abound, all of them delivered in Johnson..s gauzy yet grounded soprano, but the following (a strutting nod to Bob?) portends greatness: ..Paleface Cinderella is preparing for the war/With her suitcase and her hand grenades, she..s pounding down your door/This same sleeping beauty, who said she..d been redeemed/She..s kissin.. and tellin.. everyone exactly what she..s seen...BILL FRISKICS-WARREN/NO DEPRESSION/DEC/2006
"Johnson’s vocals are versatile—alternately tough and tender, changing as the song demands, and offering something to please every listener".
