With a sleepy-headed vocal delivery out of the Lucinda Williams school, NOLA-based singer/songwriter Lynn Drury serves up a soulful, ballad-heavy set with stick-with-you choruses dropped throughout. Cases-in-point include the simmering leadoff rocker- “Lifetime Of Living”, a country charmer- “Cold Feet” and the melodically haunting “11:11”.  Strings show up now and again; the moody character of “11” is underlined by a compelling and very unexpected chart sounding straight out of the Jeff Lynne playbook.
