Ferrier’s second album finds her with a full band, recording the instrumental tracks live to tape in two days.
As a result there’s an immediacy and presence to her emotionally rich songs of relationships good and bad. Ferrier’s voice is an easy fit with her folk and country-styled compositions, able to swing sweet and melodic on the title track, loosen up on the sultry raggedness of Damned If I Do and hit a rich vein of country soul on Old Adelaide. Be Here Now is a polished album with suitably rough edges.
