**** (Wow Records) Yes, she's the guitarist in Stella One Eleven. But that's
beside the point. Genevieve Maynard's debut solo album displays a songwriter
of intelligence, style and grace, one of this country's hidden talents.
From the infectious opener Jackie in the Morning to the gorgeous ballad
Steer Clear and the sample-driven Fifteen Letters, Maynard refuses to be
pigeonholed. Is she a folk-pop balladeer? A rocker? Does she dabble in
electronica? The answer to all your questions is yes. |
