I was curious about this album so I picked it up when I saw here play live at Diva House a couple months back.  On her most recent disc, Murray offers up a collection of intimate folk songs that touch on both the personal and the political.  Using just an acoustic guitar and/or (on a couple of songs) a ukelele, these are often short and sweet tracks taking of things from love and rejection to disgust at hipsters to a songs confronting a rapist to fears and the like with a direct and honest approach.  While there appears to be an Ani Difranco or Utah Phillips influence here Murray does offer enough spark here to reveal someone putting her own spin on what folk can be.  I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of sake but fans of singer/songwriter and more folky material will find a lot to enjoy here.  (BOONE)
