These days, you can trip over hundreds of truly excellent blues chanteuses just walking to lunch. But Thien’s supple voice can act out a song’s lyrics with both honesty and cinematic effect, and she can also traverse pop, rock, and country to cook up some pleasing stylistic blends. While not all the songs are winners, a real treat is “Please Drive,” where Thien is joined by blues legend Hubert Sumlin on guitar. Screen Door Records.
