“…she has an impressive backing band in tow. Affectionately nicknamed, Dirty Delta Blues, it comprises of Dirty Three’s Jim White, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s Judah Bauer and the Delta 72’s Gregg Foreman.

The sound they make together is a tight, bluesy rock ‘n’ roll. Marshall’s stunning, honey voice cuts the grade for this maturation, as well it did the stripped down, folky style she first made her name for. ‘Greatest’ feels warmer and more comforting than ever. Their version of ‘New York, New York’, which will feature on her second record of covers, is a revelation.” – Talia / https://londonist.com/2007/05/londonist_live_40
