Everybody has their One. Mine used to be Zooey Deschanel, before the malicious bitch decided that her One was Ben Gibbard. A single listening of Have One on Me was all it took to put thoughts of Zooey well and truly to bed (unfortunately not mine).

The album, Joanna Newsom's third, sprawls across three CDs and showcases her constantly developing range as a songstress. Whimsical, melodious and texturally rich, this album transported me to Newsom's lyrical land of Jacquards and Palanquins.

When most people think ‘Joanna Newsom', they think ‘screechy, jarring voice'. Have One On Me sees Joanna lay the screech to rest, replacing it with a sweeter, more mature voice, laced with so much affection and warmth I was ready to jump on the next plane to San Fran and run into Newsom's sweet, sweet embrace. The fact that she's also a total minx didn't even cross my mind...
