Thus it is entirely baffling why, on so many of the tracks on her latest album “The Fall,” Jones denies her voice the limelight. In the process of musical experimentation, she appears to have forgotten her greatest strengths as an artist. In the past, Jones found her home in the sultry intersection of country and jazz, but unfortunately her first forays into the realm of rock meet with varied success on “The Fall,” where at certain points she completely drowns her silken voice in awkwardly abrasive electronic chords...

They memorialize the city's famed, infamous and all but forgotten in parklike environments studded with tombs so exquisitely imaginative that they resemble works of art.

...Fifty-three-year-old Gabrielle Short, a forgotten Australian, described her ordeal at the Nazareth House, an orphanage in the southeastern town of Ballarat, to the Australia Associated Press (AAP). "If you wet the bed at the house, they'd rub your face into the sheets until it bled," Short said. "I try to explain it to my children now. If you were to read the story Oliver Twist, you take away the music and the happy bits, and that's what it was like." Two sisters, who were also in the care of the Nazareth House, but in Brisbane...
