Po’ Girl brings Rich Music to Amie Street

May 13th, 2007

If you're looking for some old-timey folk music with a little bit of jazz then check out

by Po' Girl. Play Button So Lazy () is perfect for a lazy mood complete with a slow tempo, whispery vocals, and drowsy clarinet. Play Button To The Angry Evangelist () is a dark blues track with hauntingly squeaky fiddle playing. Perhaps the funkiest tune on the album, Play Button Skies Of Grey (), has a soulful groove and ultimately spiritual message.

...these girls are anything but po' at what they do" [Bob Strauss, LA Daily News]
There's no denying Home to You is a layered, insightful, and achingly poignant triumph that still works even if you just want to hear the pretty music." [David Jeffries, Allmusic.com]
likely to win over even more folk fans." [Kurt Orzeck, MTV News]
what makes the group's frisky, soulful sound remarkable is its convincing embrace of old-time jazz and blues."[Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald]
With enough sultry ambiance to be at home in either cocktail lounge or New Orleans street corner, Po' Girl features a simple, polished production of wistful, plaintively slurred vocals over a sparse yet warm jazz-folk accompaniment of guitar, stand-up bass, harmonica, banjo and clarinet. Americana can seem like a language from a forgotten era, but Po' Girl's sentiment never feels forced, the lyricism never cliche or false. They manage to maintain that traditional and nostalgic sound while the breathing fresh life into an old-fashioned genre."[Christina Saraceno, Rolling Stone Online Magazine]
