The midtempo songs on Alice Peacock's self-titled album focus on folky
pop-rock confections a la Sheryl Crow and Shawn Colvin. "Bliss" (featuring
John Mayer) and "Imagination" (bolstered by Indigo Girl Emily Saliers) ride
a midtempo mix of multiple guitars and harmony vocals, while "I Hear You
Say" and "I'll Be the One" recall Faith Hill. "Alabama Boy," meanwhile,
takes its cues from Joni Mitchell. "Into the Light" is a soaring slice of
country-rock, the hidden track "Northern Star" a delicate stab at cabaret.
Peacock's flowing grasp of various styles never sounds forced or fake.
Indeed, her invigorating twists on standard pop make this collection a
delight.
