This review is from: Bloom Red & The Ordinary Girl (Audio CD)

Tres Chicas could have taken the easy way with this album and simply recorded "Sweetwater II" as their first album was a thorougly delightful romp through the realms of alternative country. Instead, "Bloom, Red and the Ordinary Girl" show Lynn Blakey, Caitlin Cary, and Tonya Lamm stretch their considerable vocal muscles into other styles, including R&B. Indeed, the wondrous "Only Broken" stirs immediate visions of Dusty Springfield. Then there are the lush arrangements of Cary's seductive "Stone Love Song." Other standouts include "My Love" and "Still I Run." That this album appears to have fallen under the rader of listeners is truly a crime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three of the most Talented Chicas in Music, March 29, 2006

This review is from: Bloom Red & The Ordinary Girl (Audio CD)

After Sweetwater we were all hoping for another Tres Chicas album, for that project not to have been a one off. Our prayers were answered with Bloom, Red and the Ordinary Girl. This album is definately more polished than its predecessor, but no less georgous. Tracing various incantations of love, this album often finds the women coming out on the sad end. Still the lyrics remain fresh because they lack the bitterness of so many other alt-country ballads. The harmonies, of course, are angel choir perfect and the women trade leads and weave in and out, over and under each other. All in all this is an album perfect for cozy listenings over a Sunday Afternoon Hot Buttered Rum.

This review is from: Bloom, Red & The Ordinary Girl (MP3 Download)

Their 1st CD is better, I rate only 6/12 songs on this one as keepers. For you MP3 downloaders, my list is: Drop Me Down, Shade Trees in Bloom, Sway, Only Broken, 400 Flamingos, and Slip So Easily. However, Tres Chicas is a very talented group that I'd like to hear more from. I found this group in kind of an interesting way. See my review of "Sweetwater".
