So let's talk about Birdie Busch. Originally part of the Amos Lee/Devin Greenwood klatch, Birdie quickly stood out with quietly quirky songs whose disturbed perkiness and deceptive simplicity (or simple deceptiveness) was matched by a fragile but wizened vocal sensibility. She's funky. Not dag funky. Odd funky. On The Ways We Try, produced by Greenwood for maximal Dylan/Al Kooper effect (those wheezy organs), the swelling structure never overwhelms Birdie's tiny voice. Her crackled rosiness draws you into "The Lightest Whitest" and "South Philly" as would a painter's smallest strokes – asides that speak volumes when you stand closer. So get closer.
