Jessica Lea Mayfield sang along on The Black Keys’ “Things Ain’t Like They Used To Be” on the album “Attack And Release” and in return she got Mr. Auerbach to lend his production skills, guitar, organ, piano and drums to her full-length debut “With Blasphemy So Heartfelt”.
On it you won’t hear any dirty blues riffs, instead you got a bunch of delicate acoustic tracks with Mayfield’s even more delicate voice draped over it. If it would’ve been just her voice and the strumming of an acoustic guitar, it could’ve been a little whiny at times but with the inclusion of an organ, a cello and some Crazy Horse-like guitar solos here and there and great backing vocals on “I’m Not Lonely Anymore”, Mayfield keeps the listener on his/her toes and takes them to that special little place where it’s okay to cry.
Score: 8 out of 10
