Superman Won't Take the Call (self-released) Jennie Arnau is a folksy singer with a full rock back-up band. She takes full advantage of both styles. Her songwriting style is simple, tending toward the anthemic. She plays a fine acoustic guitar and a decent harp in addition to her singing, but she's not afraid to let her band pound away of that's what the song requires. The result can sound a bit overproduced at times, but Arnau's astonishingly earnest voice overcomes that. When the songs swoop, soar or simply bash away, Arnau's voice is always in control. She seems to have a knack for singing in the moment. A fine, eclectic set of songs. This isn't a folk, rock, country or roots album. It's all that and more, often at the same time. Pretty durned impressive. Jon Worley Aiding & Abetting   CLOSE
