Takes me on a journey..and Im not sure I want to return!, July 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Absolution (Audio CD)
I know nothing of Carol Noonan's work before Absolution..so alas, I cant say "Im so disappointed with this stuff after Knots and Crosses..." I just have to accept it on its own terms. Well, after 3 years, the terms are still quite positive, and this recording still stands out as her best. Its not as glitzy as "B&W" and not as eclectic as "OW", but is just so powerful in the singing and lyrics. Warning: It does not "rock out"--this is folk---and perhaps one of the reasons why Carol Noonan avoids work from this album in now rare concert appearances is because the style is somewhat limiting. Its also a bit more brooding than even her later songs about psyho killers and medieval queens dying in childbirth. Still... is just so enduring!
