Shannon McArdle - Summer of the Whore
And since we gave Shannon McArdle the first word in this newsletter we'll let the critics have the last word on her new album Summer of the Whore.
"Many people get divorced, and all of them deal with it differently. McArdle, for one, just turned her ordeal into a contender for album of the year."
- Sam Seiler, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A more sensitive and thought provoking record you're unlikely to hear. If you just broke up with your significant other, avoid this record like the plague."
- Paul Zimmerman, First Coast News
"Perhaps McArdle is merely playing up her more seamy autobiographical details, or fabricating them outright, but like any hot tabloid story, I just can't get enough."
- Jeff Terich, Amplifier
"These are frank, tough-minded songs that convey McArdle's maturity, humor, and self-destructiveness-- a potent combination-- in the face of such heartache."
- Stephen M. Deusner, Pitchfork
