I've had some reviews piling up lately, so it's time to get a few of them out there.

Travis' second CD is a huge step up from her debut, which was pretty good. This one is revelatory. Travis' unique, beautiful vocals have a much more assured and confident air, and her songs have stepped up as well, acquiring a more muscular feel while retaining the winsome quality that makes her baroque pop so appealing. There are more '60s pop influences on this one, especially on the outstanding "They Find the Time," which features The Pieces' Vess Ruhtenberg on psychedelic wah wah guitar over Travis' neat Wurlitzer lines, while the Pieces' Devon Ashley drives the whole thing with an insistent drum beat.

Other highlights include the haunting "Every Time" and the accordion-flamenco fusion of the upbeat "To Think Big." Travis plays a variety of keyboards throughout the disc, and enlists Kenny Childers, Gretchen Holtz, Megan Weeder, Paul Mahern and others to carry out her impressive, understated compositions.
