"As Carmen Lundy mapped out the rough tracks on this powerful one-woman retrospective, she assumed each role: sang lead and backup, played every instrument and (co)wrote almost every tune. She was scarcely freer parsing out her messages: limning autobiography, affectionate thanks, hard lessons learned, cautionary worldviews. Nonetheless, when she passed the "selfie" blueprints along to preferred session mates, they "got it", both music and her reflective glances, laying most tracks in one take".
