Product Description:
Femme fatale Jenny Lewis has never sounded so passionate and her songs never so hard-hitting and acerbic as on her aptly titled solo disk, Acid Tongue. The album follows 2006's Rabbit Fur Coat (which Spin named among the best albums of that year) and a series of acclaimed albums with indie rock fave Rilo Kiley. Featuring collaborations with A Band Called She & Him and guest appearances by Elvis Costello and Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, Acid Tongue proves to be wicked good.

I love Jenny Lewis and Rilo Kiley.
I instantly fell in love with "Rabbit Fur Coat", but to me this feels like an album consisting of bunch of b-sides, without any cohesion or purpose.
While Rabbit Fur Coat was a natural, flowing, cohesive concept album about the personal,social and relgious ILLUSIONS in life, the concept of "Acid Toungue" doesn't really work-- perhaps I just don't get it but I don't think there is a lot to get here "to get"

This is a great album. For me, not so much a social enjoyment but more a solitary listening. I enjoy it from beginning to end. Wish I could have been a fly on the wall during the recording sessions! I think I told everyone who would listen to buy this!
