On her third album (actually her fifth, but the first two were self-released and long out of print), singer/songwriter Jess Klein adds a dash more pop and polish to the sweetly soulful formula of her previous discs. On 2005's Strawberry Lover, producer and former Mary Lou Lord guitarist Marc Copely wisely puts Klein's voice front and center, while also letting his tight and emphatic studio band (with Copely himself on guitar) give the songs a firmer and hookier edge, putting less folk and more rock into Klein's tunes. But Copely's production also serves the material well, and Klein's voice -- at its best sounding like the youthful middle ground between Emmylou Harris and Maria McKee -- responds well to these surroundings. With melodic accents that suggest she's been listening to a lot of classic R&B and '60s pop, Klein's tales of love both good and bad hit a fine grace note between passion and craft, and she offers just enough interesting changeups (such as the sexy reggae grove of "Soda Water" and the subtle martial undertow of "Ribbons") to give the set a compelling texture. Strawberry Lover is a solid and compelling record from an artist who continues to grow with each new album. ~ Mark Deming

Dirty Linen (pp.87-88) - "On a three-song combination about midway through STRAWBERRY LOVER, Klein seems to find her own voice. The title track segues into 'Office Girl' and 'Soda Water,' showing a sharp enough eye for lyrical detail to move the proceedings from jukebox to foreground."

Strawberry Lover songs
$12.05 In early 2005, young indie icon Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) unveiled two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN. Whereas the latter proved to be a departure into electronic music, the former sticks to Oberst's established sound, which combines the urgency and heart-on-the-sleeve sentiment of emo-rock with twangy, down-home feel of alt-country and folk music.
I'M WIDE AWAKE begins with Oberst telling a story that morphs into "At the Bottom of Everything," a jangly, upbeat tune featuring My Morning Jacket's ...

Strawberry Lover CD music
$12.15 It's easy to tag the Autumn Defense as a band striving to re-create the sun-splashed sound of the classic California folk-rock and chamber pop albums of the '60s and early '70s, but while their musical influences are clear, the truth is that Patrick Sansone and John Stirratt have delivered an album every bit as satisfying and beautiful as the artists they've followed with their self-titled third release. The Autumn Defense is a rich and mature collection of songs that sparkle with melodic beauty without ignoring the more difficult emotions that are often part and parcel of commitment; thankfully devoid of self-pity or a deluded joy, these songs speak of passion and experience in equal portions, and the superb arrangements and crisp, nearly flawless playing bring forward the impassioned material with inspired accuracy. As songwriters, Sansone and Stirratt deliver their strongest work to date on The Autumn Defense, and Sansone's ...
