How the Music Critic Score works
Buy Liars And Prayers from Amazon
It's true that the main ingredients of Thalia Zedek's music -- the permanent, aching rasp in her voice, her guitar's bluesy bite, the startlingly clear-eyed lyrics about life and loss -- have been constant since her earliest projects. Over time, though, the way she puts those ingredients together has evolved into a sound that's still intense but more restrained, and even tempered with a little softness. Zedek looks backward to move forward on Liars and Prayers, the first album billed to the Thalia Zedek Band.
