Amy Millan - Honey From The Tombs

This was really all about "Skinny Boy". The rest of the album has its moments, and the of-the-moment somewhat spacey take on alt-country works; Millan's a charismatic vocalist and an effective arranger, but the songwriting is generally solid rather than inspiring, so that while it goes down nicely, the music doesn't really linger. Still, pretty darn tasty while it lasts..
