Had to take a break after the Beirut LP, cause it was hard to follow with something as simple, sweet and soulful for my taste. I found it coming from a female singer - friend of Billie Holliday apparently. Her voice does bring up Billie Holliday in mind - one of the most unique timbres you may come across with. It's So Hard to Tell... was initially recorded in 1969 and it's everything a blues album should be. Just a shame she didn't become as successful as, say, Janis Joplin. Would've fully diserved to.
