This is a really evocative album, painting pictures of America of a certain time. In this case, she follows the coming-of-age of her father. She also touches on a very Americana feel in songs like "Shepherd" and "Dyin Day". And the way the album ends, with the harbor bells tolling at the end of "Ships", brings about a perfect unresolved resolution to a storybook epic.

Folk singer from Vermont. I think that's her dad on the cover. Amazing album about father-child relationships, about growing up, about expectations, about making hard choices and living with them, come what may. So good! Next time I have an intense listening session, I'm doing an Anais Mitchell storytelling odyssey, starting with this, moving on to Child Ballads, and ending with Hadestown. Anais is one of the best finds of my odyssey do far.
