Acid Tongue

 


2025 Charity Shop Purchases # 59 - Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue

From the same recent foray which yielded Revival by Gillian Welch albeit I had moved on from Victoria Road to Battlefield Road. I give you Acid Tongue the 2008 debut solo album by Jenny Lewis on Rough Trade.

She previously released albums as a member of  Rilo Kiley and as Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins ( which is a terrific record) and so she is no stranger to these pages.As with Gillian Welch this was another case of a CD replacing a burn in this instance with an added bonus of coming in a cardboard sleeve as opposed to a jewel case thus saving space.

It is a decent enough album with a few good tunes two of which are featured below. It is definitely a keeper although I must admit I have never really felt the urge to track down any of her three other albums. Having said that if they were to pop up in a charity shop ....
