5.0 out of 5 stars Great Voice, Superb Instrumental Work, Dynamite Album!, March 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Age of Innocence (Audio CD)

I bought this album based on a couple of reviews and the fact that it was nominated for a Grammy. I must say that I have nearly worn it out in the past year and a half! Kate MacKenzie has such a terrific soulful voice that will take no time at all getting under your skin, and soon it will have gone straight to your heart. It is down-home and irresistable! She interprets her songs with such profound feeling and is backed by absolutely outstanding musicians, such as John Reischman on mandolin, Tony Furtado on banjo, Rob Ickes on dobro, and Stuart Duncan on fiddle. Their wonderful instrumental work so beautifully compliments Kate MacKenzie's fabulous voice! If I had to choose my favorites on this album, which isn't easy, they would include her interpretation of Mick Hanly's "Past the Point of Rescue", the soulful "Blue Lonesome Wind", the delightful "What's the Matter with the Mill?", and the Greg Brown song "Driftless". Kate MacKenzie is one very fine singer who deserves a lot more attention and recognition for her talent, and this is one truly fine album!

I'm just getting into the world of bluegrass and folk and have been amazed by this album. She has such a soulful voice and her talent and passion for the music shine through on most tracks. You won't regret buying it!

Modern folk bluegrass fans will love this CD by Kate MacKenzie, who sings with an authoritative voice and is backed by some pretty nimble pickers. Those who have not heard much bluegrass, but fancy themselves blues fans might want to give a listen to cut 6, "What's the Matter with the Mill?" The blues is not the only musical form that trades on sly sexual metaphor and innuendo. This is a really entertaining CD, and my only complaint is that at 34:26, it's pretty short--pretty darn awfully short in fact!--but it's fun while it lasts.
