Penny Jo Pullus - My Barn Having Burned, I Can Now See The Moon (Freedom)
Great album title which, apparently, is a Taoist proverb, and a great country rocking CD from this Austin resident. It has been five years since her last release and on this listening I don't know why it has taken so long. She can rock and "Knife Feels Like Justice" is a cracking opening track, but she can also sing the blues with feeling and this is highlighted on the lovely country blues "Lord Help Me". The Faces’ Ian McLagan is featured on the album, and excels on the spirited, feisty rocker "This Time, Next Time". Lucinda Williams is a loose reference point, but Penny Jo Pullus is so much more than a pale imitation of Ms. Williams. She played in the UK in 2003, I can't wait to see her tour on the back of this great album. www.myspace.com/pennyjopullus www.freedomrecords.com
