I had the same thought re American Pie.

it's one of her very best songs but it's just not the same without the guitar part

I love this. The writing sometimes verges on bathos and then she always gets in the gut punch, like she presents as Vonnegut and then goes Carver on you. That song (IDK the titles yet) where she suggests swimming because there won’t be any water in the future because climate change, I was ready to consign to the Dud pile, and then I burst into tears at the last line. Sonically very cool — it’s got a ramshackle home-recorded vibe, but is also obviously very carefully put together, with almost incongruous studio elements that leash the most frayed bits & tighten everything up. Damn.

Literally burst into tears. I was on a plane. In the middle seat. It was embarrassing.

this version of "ruined" with her playing a solo is really good too

Loving this album. She is writing and making music at a remarkable clip -- in the last ~four/five years she's released three Big Thief albums (one of them a double) and three solo albums -- and it's all quality. Her ability to flip between complex and utterly simple song structures reminds me of Dylan.

I don't love the album but it has a few tracks I like. Free Treasure is great.

She's a major talent. She could stop writing tomorrow and she'd have a catalog people would still be coming back to in 20 years.
