About

The charm of <i>Wildfire</i> is in its skillful understatement. While tunes like “Paper Doll” and “Who You Love” have glossy, delicately harmonized hooks, the album features understated, country-inflected shuffles and lots of impressive musicianship. (A perfect example is the gently rambling cover of J.J. Cale’s “Call Me the Breeze.”)
