First heard this on streaming and the vinyl mix really brings out the warmth in Crutchfield's voice, especially on the slower tracks. Gatefold sleeve has a nice matte finish too.

The pressing is dead quiet, which matters because these songs are mostly just her voice and a guitar. I've spun it three times since it arrived and the acoustic tracks on side one sound warm and close.

Side B is where this record really opens up for me, especially the quieter tracks where her voice sits right up front. The 12 inch pressing gives everything room to breathe, and I've had it on repeat all week.
