Hamar Arbeiderblad:  Failer canadian kathleen edwards' "failer" is the best surprise of the year so far. she is writing herself in with a big and solid tradition with great telling texts and ongoing force in long, rich melody lines. it isn't exactly something new or distinctive by the way kathleen edwards is writing herslef into the epical american rock tradition, it is just that good. maybe it's something about the personal creadability in the expression; it is earthy and uncomplicated, cariied by a simple and effective force, without affected gestures or effects that doesn't serve the purpose in this even, great material. rating: 5 [out of 6] geir vestad hamar-arbeiderblad.no translated by suzanna				Album reviews Feature articles Interviews Show reviews
