English singer-songwriter Kate Walsh specializes in the type of wispy acoustic folk that shoots an arrow straight into the heart of anyone whose heart is open a little already. TIM'S HOUSE, the artist's debut, bears traces of Walsh's influences, which include Joni Mitchell and Tori Amos, yet it is also a highly polished and original effort. Walsh's pure, expressive voice is moving, but it's her confessional, beautifully written songs that give the album its legs. TIM'S HOUSE is soothing, elegant, and offers up no small amount of emotional substance.

Q (p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Backed by delicately plucked acoustic guitar, her crisp, pure voice mesmerises....Effortlessly pretty, understated music..."
