Samantha Crain - Kid Face (February 19, Ramseur) - Third album of Americana-tinged folk/rock from the 25-year-old Oklahoma-raised songwriter follows up her acclaimed 2010 album You (Understood), a conceptual project with each song representing one particular personal interaction...Kid Face again mines Crain's uncluttered and assured songwriting and storytelling craft matched perfectly with a spare, no-frills production, courtesy noted Bay Area performer and studio maven John Vanderslice...Few of Crain's contemporaries can match her innate talent of marrying astute and sympathetic observational character-studies with simple yet compelling melodies...Watch the video for "Never Going Back" and stream "Somewhere All The Time" after the jump...
