Grand Rapids-based Lonesome Jane has given us an album of nice melodies, sung sweetly and wrapped in a country-folk package. Most band members shared song-writing duties along with guest-writer Danger (of Dangerville). The album was self-produced by band member Chris Olsen (also of the Willeys) and the mix is a bit inconsistent, but all in all a well-done effort. Rebecca Ruth.
