Tucson-based songwriter Namoli Brennet
has been referred to as a female Tom Waits,
and she certainly possesses a cutting way
with a lyric and a passionate vocal style.
Her fourth album, Chrysanthemum, is full
of deeply emotional songs. We can all
associate with 7 Eleven, a sharp image of
a town dying on its feet with shops closing
and people moving out. Musical portraits of
people and places is Brennet's forte and she
continuously pricks the conscience or pulls
at the heartstrings.
