Potter has a high fervent folk-rock delivery that suggests a grittier Patty Griffin. A theme that runs through her tuneful songwriting is passionate often painful sexual combat and the continuing clash between her insistence on independence and the inconvenient emotions that turn relationships into power struggles.
