5.0 out of 5 stars The calm in a storm!, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Five Stories (Audio CD)

Amid a monsterous storm of repetitive music coming out today, Kris Delmhorst's "Five Stories" is a welcome break from the norm. Being that I have never heard of her before (I found this CD by mistake) I was absolutely astonished by what I heard. Her songwriting skills (if it would be a skill, for it almost seems natural for her) are better than most all commercialized musicians on the scene today! None of the same old cliched music or lyrics, but genuine in feeling and style.

My favorite songs on the album currently are "Garden Rose" and "Yellow Brick Road" (the song that mesmerized me enough to buy this album), but I can't skip over any song at all being that they are that good!

Personally though, I wouldn't know another famous folk singer, but being a musician, I know talent when I see it! (or hear it for that matter!) If you want good music, buy this CD NOW!... or buy it from her website for faster service!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar project, October 31, 2002

It's impossible to go wrong buying this CD if you have any interest in singer-songwriters. I think the other reviews here already sum it up nicely, but it should be mentioned that many of the musicians on this album have been seen around Boston in their own successful projects. This includes Catie Curtis and Sean Staples of the Resophonics among many others. This album is well-played and given a sensitive treatment by capable hands. Add Kris's stellar voice and songwriting on top and you've got a great album that's difficult to remove from rotation. Buy without hesitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't stop playing this beauitful CD!, July 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Five Stories (Audio CD)

Kris Delmhorst stands out from within the "Girls with Guitars" genre as a unique, multi-faceted, wonderful singer and songwriter. Her lyrics are strong and dynamic paired with a natural and lovely voice. That girl plays a ton of instruments and showcases those talents well on songs like "Mean Old Wind." My favorite is "Broken White Line" with its classic-sounding folk-rock nature, well elevated by original story-telling lyrics. Appetite and the older EPs are great; but for a full-fledged, enjoyable album, FIVE STORIES is the way to go. You'll be satisfied from start to finish, and then, like me, you'll press play again and start the whole experience over for another round!
