America doesn’t have the same relationship with Polly Jean Harvey as does England. Here her albums are met with a shrug except by a fervent minority who wait on her every word. Over the pond, her latest record topped most of the critic’s lists for best album of last year. Her “Let England Shake” album was a stunner and probably the most England-centric record she’s ever made. It is indeed a potent record right up there with her best albums including “Rid Of Me,” “To Bring You My Love,” “Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea” and “White Chalk.”
