(January 2021) Episode 380 is COURTNEY BARNETT. Conventional yet enjoyable singer-songwriting, delivered in a somewhat laconic, sometimes Sprechgesang Australian accent. I was drawn to her by the grungy fuzz of “Pedestrian at Best” but that was more exception than rule.
Favorite album: Sometimes I Sit And Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit*
Favorite song: Pedestrian At Best
Compared to expectations: same
Recommendation: enjoyable but not spectacular
* one of my favorite album titles of all time
