Alone

She recorded it alone at home in Nashville, each song with her voice and one instrument, guitar, banjo or the banjitar, a six-string banjo tuned like a guitar. She describes it as a live performance with no applause, just silence and the next song. At The Barrier gives the release as September 18, 2020, and a retailer lists September 9; Americana UK's review is dated September 1. FolkWorld calls Nine Pound Banjo a blues reworking of "Nine Pound Hammer" and Breathless a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired story-song, and groups "Sparrow Alone", "I Can Be Brave" and "What About Today?" among the songs of trial and triumph.

Americana UK scored it 7 out of 10, calling it a good case of how to make simple music work; At The Barrier called it ten concise songs, beautifully imagined and expertly executed; and Gaesteliste said she reworks older American styles, bluegrass into blues, folk into swing, country into folk.
