Jenny Lewis - Acid Tounge

I'm not much of a Rilo Kiley fan. They're good, no doubt, but none of their songs are strong enough to compel me to buy an album. So when heard that Jenny Lewis was releasing her second solo album, titled Acid Tounge, I didn't think it would be worth my time.

Then, I heard the single "Acid Tounge."

I replayed it at least 9 times. I never do that. The raw emotion, the gospel sound, bare acoustic guitar. Perfection. When the Black Crowes song join Lewis I almost want to cry. (The album also includes notable guest appearances from Zooey DeSchanel and Elvis Costello).

On an impulse I pre-ordered the album that night.

Unfortunatley, the rest of the album isn't as stong as the title track, but still a solid effort from someone I usually don't listen to. After 2 weeks it's still my current favorite.
