Scheinman's vocal debut unfolds gallantly. It's a brave combination of country, folk, blues, and rock. It's always easy and always honest...She knows the songs... She owns the songs... With some songs recorded live as first takes with bleed and no overdubs or fixes, the album is straight from the heart. Other songs are smaller and acoustic, like the original piece "Newspaper Angels." This intimacy helps draw the rougher stuff in even closer, giving the listener a complete picture of Jenny Scheinman as an artist and as a woman with a hell of a story to tell....Scheinman's songcraft on her self-titled vocal debut is faultless. It's unrefined, poignant, bona fide, and honest. There's that word again: honest. Whether she's honouring Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, or doing a Little Richard impression, Scheinman is always bold and always exciting. Back-to-back, Crossing the Field and Jenny Scheinman make for an extraordinary voyage through the melodic mind of one of music's most remarkable and gripping artists.
