If anything, the sound is even leaner here; the opening track finds Phillips accompanied only by drums and her own acoustic guitar, and her strumming is the center of nearly every arrangement here. Lyrically, she's typically poetic and inscrutable, preferring to sketch out emotional/psychological moods rather than tell linear stories. The melodic and harmonic lilt of Phillips's smart songwriting, the production of husband T-Bone Burnett, and the occasional instrumental flourish (in the form of an electric-guitar backdrop or string quartet) help lift A BOOT AND A SHOE into the realm of the casually transcendent.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - [T]he songs are warm and breathy affairs that are poetic but never precious....In short, small, perfectly formed and wonderfully refreshing.Mojo (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 - [T]he longer the album runs the more engaging the songs seem to become....A definite grower.Uncut (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 - [I]ntimate...a set of melodies only made the more memorable by their brevity. Understated and underestimated.
