While Frazey Ford of the Be Good Tanyas spent the year raising her new baby, band mate Trish Klein had time to record a second record with her other group. Like on their first record, Po' Girl takes the Tanyas' kitchen-sink mix of rustic sounds and adds a blues tinge. Musicians have always fused music from different genres, but now a full generation has grown up barely aware of musical boundaries. The age bracket that spawned Po' Girl is equally at home with country, rock, jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and punk. They are even able to seamlessly add a rapper to the half-time country tune "Take the Long Way" without a hint of preciousness—-a rapper that name-checks Patti Smith no less. --Michael Ross

5 out of 5 stars Po' Girl's Lilting Melodies Warm the Heart.......2007-01-23

I just love this CD. Po' Girl has penned some beautiful songs that leave you humming for days afterward.
Before Po' Girl came about, I was a huge fan of The Be Good Tanyas for years, having caught their shows in Vancouver, Los Feliz & Hollywood.
I'm so glad the members of that band joined their new friends and that they're all still playing and harmonizing together after major life changes kept them from recording for a spell. Take it from another mom, having kids will derail you for awhile, but it's lovely and very much worth the ride.
I hope to hear much more from the angelic and rootsy voices that make up Po' Girl. They are a genuine gem among so many plastic, formulaic bands that are churning out forgetable CDs in the music world.

5 out of 5 stars Po' Girl. Astounding.......2006-07-19

Well. I stumbled onto Po' Girl on emusic, and am just blown away by this, their second album. Can't stop listening to "Take the Long Way, with CR Avery rapping gently through the middle of the song. Bliss.
