I first noticed in the film
Yes Man, then found out she had recorded some albums with a guitar player named M. Ward. She & Him Volume One was not entirely to my liking, but I liked Volume Two better. Really, though, I prefer her work in Munchhausen by Proxy.
Yes, I have a pre-occupation with chick vocals like Cat Power, Innocence Mission, The Finches, Mazzy Star, Bic Runga, Novel Vague, etc. I guess I have to turn in my man card. Again.
