I’m not always a huge fan of female vocalists. It takes a lot for me to really get into them. This is not the case with Jenny Lewis. The Rilo Kiley frontwoman is due to release her second solo record “Acid Tongue” on September 23rd. “Acid Tongue” sounds different from “Rabbit Fur Coat”  from the start.

First of all, and most noticably, it does not involve The Watson Twins. While including them on the first release made quite an impression from a musical stand point, it seems that Acid Tongue”  is going to be just as phenomenal. To go out completly on a limb here,  as I listen to her on a cloudly Saturday morning, she reminds me very much of a female Ryan Adams right now. This is a compliment. It strikes me as a very raw, very alt-country record. I can only imagine that these songs will be even more beautiful live as they are on the record. Jenny is doing an extensive U.S. tour this fall including some show dates with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band.
