9/10

Listen to All Mine

The Minnesota songstress Sarah Morris returns with more of her engaging intimacy as the warm Americana present on All Mine finds her thoughtful and articulate song craft at a career high.

Morris impresses us early on with the soaring, pretty vocals amid the warm Americana of “All Mine”, and “Stir Me Up” follows with playful percussion and a more country oriented rocker that’s instantly memorable.

In the middle, “There, There” flows with intimate and infectious songwriting as her expressive vocals really shine, while “The Promise Of Maybe” finds a nice place to reside between rugged and pop friendly, and could certainly strike a chord with fans of Norah Jones.

Closer to the end, “How I Want To Love You” offers a cautious, folksy tune with aching pedal steel, and “I’m A Wreck” uses organs strategically on a darker example of her lush vision. “Higher” exits the listen soft and reflective, where poetic storytelling reinforces just how well thought out All Mine is.

An excellent 5th album from a woman who has the chops to be a household name, put Morris on a list with Haley Bonar and Reina Del Cid as female songwriters from the Land Of 10,000 Lakes who you should have on constant rotation.

Travels well with: Mary Lambert- Grief Creature; Rebecca Turner- The New Wrong Way
