It seems Jenny Lewis can't get a break. She's been arguably the best songwriters of the 00's yet she never gets the attention she really deserves.
Her songwriting really comes out on her solo album "Acid Tongue". Especially the track "Pelican Bay" where an unconventional chorus surprisingly works. On several tracks she even reminds me of Loretta Lynn the way her vocals sound ("Acid Tongue"). But this doesn't take a way from her originality. Which really makes this album special.
The one negative thing about the album is some tracks sound the same. I would usually hate this but it's kind of charming.
Rating: 75/100 (A diamond in the rough)
