    Stripped-back acoustic arrangements, giving her voice space to drift and swell beautifully. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    A compelling listen. Despite her love of folk traditions, and a classic voice, Baird keeps these songs from ever feeling dated

  10. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

  11. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    It’s no revolution, but smooth and subtle enough to reward a little care and attention
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Compelling in its way, but a bit Isobel Campbell when it should be Joni Mitchell. Print edition only

  13. 6.0 |   Prefix

    There's no trace of affectation to be found anywhere on Seasons on Earth -- Baird never sounds like she's putting on a style
