Amy Rigby is a helluva writer

I’ve enjoyed Amy’s records over the years, especially The Sugar Tree, which is as brutal, funny, and touching a collection as you could ask for. It’s her honesty and the way she deals with the truth that gets me. And Girl to City is no different. She’s a talented artist whether in sound or kn the page.
