Where the deer and the antelope play -



Laura Gibson is from Portland, OR and plays a nylon-stringed guitar. On her latest (and first) full-length album If You Come To Greet Me she (at times) sounds eerily like Julie Doiron or a folkier and less jazzy Norah Jones or maybe even Feist. Whatever. Her music has an almost timeless or even old-timey quality about it. I'd describe her music and prairie folk. I can picture her sitting in a meadow surrounded by tall grasses and blue skies with her hair blowing in the wind somewhere in Oklahoma. Gibson's featherlight Americana on If You Come To Greet Me gets contributions from the members of Norfolk & Western and its arrangements augmented with piano, acoustic guitar, horns, lightly brushed drums, string arrangements, and more. A perfect record for some upcoming sunny summer afternoon and it is out now on Hush Records.
