Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Over and over again listening.......2002-10-19

This album mixes moving, artful, bare-bones recordings with drops of atmospheric old found-audio. The music is beautiful, and Amy Annelle's songwriting and voice are perfect.

The only down side to this album are some of the found-audio clips. Some of it is dead-on -- gospel and twangy bluegrass that crackles into and under the new material, giving depth and contrast.

Some of it, however, is smarmy Southern Christian radio preachers talking to vaguely impaired elderly men. I can't tell if this material is earnest or ironic, but it sure sets a mood and makes me think. On further listens to the album, it troubles me less and less.

I found this album on emusic.com, and have listened to it so much that I then went and bought it from the Hush Records web site so I can have an original copy to play in the truck, and to read the liner notes for more insight.

If you're a fan of minimal bluegrassy recordings and artists like Gillian Welch or old Patsy Cline, pick this up.
