What drives Mary Lee Kortes' sophomore vehicle is her lovely, nuanced voice and deft storytelling. Kortes and her band have a wide-open range, throwing accordion, cello, and tamboura into their textured pop-rock-folk mix. From hit-ready rockers to a poignant tale of abuse ("Why Don't You Leave Him?"), Corvette comes option-loaded. Here's hoping True Lovers of Adventure shifts this indie career into higher gear. B+
