A HIGHLY TALENTED SINGER/SONGWRITER, September 2, 2006
This review is from: Black Boots (Audio CD)
This is an absolutely wonderful debut CD. It continues to resonate with this listner and remains in the CD player long after its initial purchase. While I've never seen her live, the CD retains the fresh immediate experience of a live show. Sawicki draws from several genres, but primarily relies on folk/bluegrass. At certain moments one can almost feel the toe-tapping crowd, the sounds of clinking beer bottles, and an artist having fun with her audience.
Sawicki has been compared to other artists such as Joni Mitchell and Gillian Welch. While these comparisons will generally provide an introduction to new listners, Sawicki is a unique and worthy artist in her own right. She has a beautiful voice that is extensively used in widely varying ways. Her voice will capture the listner, and is highly effective when standing on its own with minimal musical back-up.
Sawicki's music comes from a deeply personal place. It is her content that will ultimately stay with the listner. She is able to convey images, moods, and varying levels of emotion.
I am sure there will be much more coming from this artist.
