“With such an inspired and mature debut, expectations were high for her follow-up, and 2010′s Vestige of Beauty exceeds them, with her decision to bring her voice and guitar even more to the fore with a stripped-down sound that is warm, inviting, and immediate. The arrangements are tender and spare, with the interplay of violin and cello (now a staple of her live show) filling a large role along with occasional appearances of banjo, bass, drums, and percussion, while her voice has never sounded stronger or more compelling, as on the soaring, Middle-Eastern tinged choruses of “Emmanuel.” Highlights include “Waiting for a Miracle,” “Cruel is the Night,” “Glorious Light,” and the title track.”
