Stitch of the world

""Stitch of the World" puts the pieces together. The music has more pieces than are initially noticeable, everything locking together to help Merritt develop a complex bit of imagery. The band shows its flexibility with an almost-rocker like "Proclamation Bones" or the bluesy groove of "Dusty Old Man". It's a group as comfortable with each other as they are with following Merritt's direction".

"Merritt sounds confident and in control at every moment, and her graceful passion is a wonder to behold. It's anyone's guess if Stitch of the World will make the world more aware of Tift Merritt, but for those who know, this is another splendid work from an unsung heroine of American roots music".

"Very few artists can run the gamut between Dusty Springfield and Joni Mitchell as effortlessly as Tift Merritt. Those skills are on excellent display in Stitch Of The World, her latest album. It's a very simple formula for success: Put Merritt in front of a crack band, keep the production subtle, and let her do her thing. Of course, that formula only works to this extent when you have a songwriter and performer with such copious talents".
