Traditional folkies will love "The Leaves Entwine". Jennifer melds ballads and fiddle music into a satisfying mix and does it with consummate artistry - a clear result of her years of performing. But there's more. It's this "more" that will engage listeners...and it's this "more" that has kept "The Leaves Entwine" in my must play pile.
