Re: Emma Townshend's New CD Winterland



Entertainment Weekly reviewed Winterland in their last issue - here it is,
without permission...

Emma Townshend/Winterland (EastWest)

On her sleekly overproduced debut, Pete Townshend's daughter slots a bit too
comfortably into the crowded intense-child-woman-with-a-piano subgenre.
"Groundswell" boasts ambitiously crafty melodies, and "Wish Finger" manifests
an impressively austere prettiness.  More typical, however, are "Walk at
Night" and "The Ladder," which embody the same pompous preciousness that makes
Tori Amos so insufferable.  -  C
