Lighten Up, by Erin Rae

Lighten Up

by Erin Rae

supported by

BetoR Folk? Country? Or just a very good album.

Jeremy / HI54LOFI I don't see how this doesn't end up being one of the most solidly lovely, top-to-bottom, albums of the year (no offense to all the other albums that haven't come out yet). Favorite track: Can't See Stars.

becabeewho It's just a simply classic sounding arrangement. Favorite track: Cosmic Sigh.

Kevin Brady Just like her last album, many of these songs sound timeless, like they could've been written this year, in the '70's, or even pre-WWII.

"Cosmic Sigh" is just gorgeous, but the whole record is perfect. What a voice, and such a unique songwriter. Favorite track: Cosmic Sigh.

Lars Gotrich Erin Rae's got a voice that floats me up to the clouds and says, "Everything's not ok, and that's ok." Favorite track: True Love's Face.
