Ladin's voice is a revelation. Clear, strong, delicate and emotive all at the same time, her exemplary examples of adult love songs deal with complicated subject matter, yet never lose their swing or get bogged down by maudlin sentimentality. In fact, the music is gorgeous.
NO DEPRESSION
Evie Ladin is a natural entertainer with a gift for infusing folk practices with contemporary verve.
