Product Review

2011 sophomore release from the Folk singer/songwriter. What Sarah Jarosz's acclaimed debut album, Song Up In Her Head, suggested, Follow Me Down confirms: she is constitutionally incapable of getting stuck in a rut. Her approach to acoustic music is expansive and vital; she sees no need to choose between old-timey and modern material; between picking, singing and writing; between experimenting and reviving tradition. She does all of it, and pushes it all further, on this album.
