Emma Tricca – “Minor White” – [Bird Records]

Every one of these songs is beautiful. Emma Tricca is a fine singer-songwriter whose rich voice tells a story while her acoustic guitar provides masterful accompaniment. Other instrumentation is minimal and adds just the right touch at just the right moments. The liner notes offer the lyrics if you want to analyze the lovely poetry, or you can just listen and let the splendid simplicity of this music wash over you.
