A-
While Tift Merritt’s debut established her alt-country chops, this follow-up Tambourine finds her hitting the Dusty trail…as in ''Dusty in Memphis''' blue-eyed soul. Maybe ''Al in Memphis'' is even more apropos, given the mostly upbeat nature of a set that mixes rousing R&B horns with Heartbreaker Mike Campbell’s understated guitar. Merritt’s voice is a magical combination of cool reserve and effortless warmth; when she serenades a ''Good Hearted Man,'' you suspect he’s getting a pretty grand ticker in return.
