    The songs are delivered with a powerful undertow that recalls Emmylou Harris' Wrecking Ball. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   The Independent

    While not quite as impressive as 2012’s Traveling Alone, there’s much to enjoy about Tift Merritt’s Stitch Of The World – not least the inspired contributions of her top-notch accompanists
