Summary: For more than a decade, Dawn Landes has shown a knack for writing sophisticated folk songs with an ear for storytelling so honest and personal it can seem like your own. On the Brooklyn-via-Louisville singer-songwriter and engineer's new album, Bluebird, that feels especially true. The record, and especially tracks like "Love Song" and "Cry No More," will surely get attention as coming on the heels of Landes' recent divorce. Yet the way she writes about the ending of a relationship, she finds poignancy and universality in the specificity of her feelings. Coupled with relatively sparse production flourish, this is an intimate collection of songs that showcase Landes' lovely voice and delicate finger-picked guitar. And while songs like "Home" grapple with loneliness, Bluebird does not feel so much like a sad breakup album, but rather, expresses a sense of hope and moving forward stronger than before.
