“It’s eight songs full of wit, wisdom … Zoe’s range of creative stimulation still seems boundless. There is a song full of dad jokes inspired by the curated journals of her late grandfather entitled “I Miss You (But My Aim Is Getting Better),” the streetwise portraiture of “Just A Trickle, Just A Nickel,” and a bona fide Patsy Cline-worthy hit called “Gotta Stop Loving You (But I Can’t).”
