Anne Heaton December 20, 2009

Anne Heaton is all about layers. Her first album, 'Black Notebook,' shimmers and shines with them: layers of simple intricacies, and of complex sparseness. Heaton's music is soul touching and soul bearing. Critics have lauded Heaton as "a keen observer of human nature" with "an uncanny ability to so succinctly and unpretentiously say what she has to say in her diary-like lyrics."
