After years of backing up every local Austin, Texas roots music hotshot (and just about everyone who passed thru town), Sarah Brown finally delivers her first solo album offering and the wait was definitely worth it. Rather than load up a disc with sturdy blues and roots music retreads, Brown lets her eclectic musical soul come up for air and infuses 11 of the 12 selections with the stamp of her strong songwriting personality. With her regular working band in place (featuring tasty guitar work from Chris Miller) to anchor solid guest turns from Bill Kirchen, Derek O'Brien, Cindy Bullens, Angela Strehli, Marcia Ball, and Lou Ann Barton, Sister Sarah comes to the plate with an album that delivers the goods while extending the form. All new albums exploring this kind of musical turf should be this much fun to listen to. ~by Cub Koda

Eight gals whose natural habitat is the blues bar in all its beery, bedenimed isolation--the malest enclave this side of the men's locker room. Individually they're not immune to the rowdy conservatism that shackles all so-called house-rockin' music, but together they constitute a singular sisterhood: tough and independent, yet--with guidance from the label's cofounder, unflappable Austin oldtimer Angela Strehli--willing to help each other hoe that hard row. The songwriting is high generic, which in bar blues takes effort, and this sampler isn't just a wheat-from-chaff job. It highlights facets of a collective sensibility--earnest or cynical or sluttish or loving or proud, it's always of its world. ~Robert Christgau
