Three may be the charm for Kathleen Edwards Whether or not Edwards finally captures the mainstream audience she deserves, her third and best album is certain to land on a good many critics' top 10 lists this year. With haunting elegance and simplicity, the Canadian singer/songwriter binds contemporary hardscrabble stories to rootsy folk, rock and country hybrids. The album marks an artistic leap that finds Edwards exploring mature themes (racism, crime, war, dying relationships) without abandoning the youthful sneer and unbridled pluck that made 2003's "Failer" and 2005's "Back to Me" so irresistible.
