And as for complaints about Newsom's voice, I will quote Robert Christgau's Marquee Moon review: "I know why people complain about Tom Verlaine's angst-ridden voice, but fuck that, I haven't had such intense pleasure from a new release since I got into Layla three months after it came out, and this took about fifteen seconds."
Good point. I'm not saying it's bad--now, her voice is part of the hook for me. But it wasn't something I responded to right away, for whatever reason, and my wife will wearily testify to my tolerance--nay, love for--music sung by unusual voices.
