A review by Tracey Grimson that appeared in the August 1997 issue of Rolling Stone, the Australian version. Bet you didn’t even know they had an Australian version!

A reputable indie label (Drag City) isn’t the only thing that Edith Frost shares with Palace’s Will Oldham. The singer/songwriter also delves deep into the soul for slow, beautiful country-blues based ballads which bend with, and shine for, all the weight of their introspection. Songs swirl gently into shape — massive hooks and novel refrains would prove unnecessary clutter here. Frost’s spare musical vision is executed with nothing on top but sensuous, eloquent lyrics. And her uniqueness lies in an ability to speak of a place that’s a little darker and deeper than the everyday, while still building her songs very much on the solid rock of the regular — on everyone’s experience of love, life and all the woes.
