Reardon, Hayley
Wayfindings
Wayfindings is 17-year-old Hayley Reardon s follow-up EP to her 2012 debut album Where the Artists Go. This new release features 7 new tracks with an edgier sense of adventurousness both lyrically and musically, including such highlights as "Numb and Blue", a wryly sincere kiss-off to an ex with lines like "It's the way you drive and all the Bob Dylan you pretend to like," and an excellent cover of the Henry Thomas folk standard "Fishin' Blues." This collection represents a remarkably mature approach, having far more in common with Patty Griffin or Lucinda Williams than many of today s young pop singer/songwriters, boasting a lyrical and melodic weight far beyond Reardon's years.
