Album Review: Joan As Police Woman - The Classic

As it is intended as a kind of development from its predecessor, 2011's The Deep Field, Joan Wasser's fifth and latest effort is successful. Retaining certain themes and similarities, not least the incomparable groove and feels her formidable backing band is capable of providing, Wasser moves forth in leaps and bounds with her writing and musical exploration, as is immediately evident in the opening track, Witness. It's worth mentioning that unlike The Deep Field, this has the feel of an album that grows on you over time, like a profound and fulfilling friendship.
