I was only aware of one album, 'Trailer Park', before her latest. As with Ben Watts' presence on 'Central Reservation', Andy Weatherall's involvement is only on a couple of tunes, while the rest are in that acoustic rootsy style.

Quality wise, I had no real urge to get a copy of 'Trailer Park', but I do remember the above tracks as being some of the best. I'm intending to give it another listen based on how much I'm enjoying 'Central Reservation'.
