Annie Capps,
How Can I Say This?
(Yellow Room Records)
★★★
MS CAPPS’S name may be familiar to few uncommitted punters on this side of the Atlantic, but this Michigan based singer-songwriter has assembled an impressive body of work over the years in tandem with her lifelong partner and musical soulmate Rod Capps.
How Can I Say This? finds Annie drawing on the contributions of 40 female performers from across the US and Canada as she explores sometimes painful topics such as vulnerability, shame and grief underpinned by stunning contributions from the likes of Heather Pierson, Tracey Grammer and Sav Buist and Katie Larson of The Accidentals.
