Talk about delayed gratification: Honey-toned singer-songwriter Linda Perhacs released her debut LP, Parallelograms, in 1970.

Perhacs’s long-awaited follow-up, The Soul of All Things Natural, beguiles with vocals that haven’t lost an iota of sweetness and tunes that radiate distinctive cool-earth-mama vibes.
