Julie Miller, Sixpence, Sarah Masen...it seems that the American scene is now crowded with little girl lost-voiced singers. But there's always room for another one, particularly when she makes such an impressive debut as Linnae Reeves. The sleeve tells how Linnae writes "songs about my faith in God and Christ - it's the biggest thing happening in my life," and certainly they come across with such luminous integrity that even a disengaged listener is drawn into Linnae's world of wide-eyed optimism. Producer David Kershenhaum gives the singer a nicely textured set of accompaniments, mixing acoustic guitar with some socking rhythms. Does it have enough memorable hooks to make it a US radio smash? I'm not sure, but 'Linnae Reeves' is certainly a quality product.
