Judith Owen<\/strong>‘s impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9 includes a run as a key member of Richard Thompson<\/strong>‘s \u201c1000 Years of Popular Music\u201d tours, but she has a formidable body of her own work. Somebody’s Child<\/i> is her 11th<\/sup> album, and here \u2013 joined by (among others) two of the singer-songwriter genre’s finest go-to players in Leland Sklar<\/strong> and Waddy Wachtel<\/strong> \u2013 she’s made yet another deeply engaging album. Crystalline production and arrangement put the focus squarely upon Owen’s winning, emotive vocals and acoustic piano. Her strong sense of melody and knack for a memorable lyric is on display on \u201cSend Me a Line.\u201d Quieter moments like \u201cMystery\u201d conjure a contemplative air, while the timeless feel of \u201cTell All Your Children\u201d displays her gift for minimalist, understated pop. And a cover of Roxy Music<\/strong>‘s \u201cMore Than This\u201d proves that Owen’s skills as a musical interpreter rival her songwriting abilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
