Review

Though she grew up in Michigan and recently relocated to North Carolina, Annie Gallup first emerged as a singer/songwriter in Seattle, where she recorded both of her albums. Backbone features the sparkling guitar arpeggios and sprawling narrative lines similar to those of Patty Larkin and early Joni Mitchell. Though the songs are fleshed out by a tasteful folk-rock band, Gallup's soprano voice and acoustic guitar dominate the foreground. Gallup's melodies are often underwhelming, but she has a way with words. In both "Fight the Devil" and "The Girl with the Flyaway Hair," she addresses a male friend who has become obsessed with an exotic woman. All her best songs work similarly--seeming to head in one direction before taking an unexpected left turn. --Geoffrey Himes
