Review by Nick Hagan

For apple pie Americana laced with star-gazing self awareness, Lewis is truly peerless.»

California singer songwriter Jenny Lewis returns with 'The Voyager' on Warner Bros. Records. This is the former Rilo Kiley frontwoman's third solo album and first in six years, following 2006's Rabbit Fur Coat (with The Watson Twins) and 2008's Acid Tongue. 'The Voyager' is Lewis's most deeply personal album to date, documenting her struggle to cope following the death of her estranged father in 2010 and the subsequent break-up of Rilo Kiley. The Voyager's rootsy, golden glow comes courtesy of Lewis and the artists she chose to produce various tracks, including Ryan Adams (who, alongside Mike Viola, produced all but three of the tracks), Beck, and Lewis' longtime collaborator Johnathan Rice. 'The Voyager' finds the always relatable songwriter at her sharp-witted best, singing about her recent experiences with honesty and incisiveness.
