Bizarre country,
By sisitang (China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leave the Sad Things Behind (Audio CD)
I remember my first time hearing Paula Frazer's voice on 'Like a Ghost' from 'Mirador' when she was still a member of Tarnation 8 years ago.
I searched with an mp3 engine and found out the only song of this female singer who went solo and seemed to disppear for quite a while. Maybe it's just because I am in Asia and not so informed of US music news. 'Always on My Mind' was the first song I heard from this album, and it stroke me as a quite shiny country song with such a strange taste of sadness, which can touch the deepest and softest part of your heart. It reminds me of Skeeter Davis' (Don't They Know) It's The End of The World and Robert James Waller's Madison County Waltz now and then. But with the instant tone changing, it's unique, even touturing (in an appealing way though). I wish I could have a chance to hear the other songs of the album, but currently I can only get the samples on Amazon. It's complicated for asian fans.

Angel of the Prairie,

This review is from: Leave the Sad Things Behind (Audio CD)
Paula Frazer is one part Neko Case alt-country, one part k.d. lang modern torch, and one part Elizabeth Fraser soaring vocalesse. Her songcraft borrow liberally from classic 60s/early 70s pop country, and some of the pieces and their arrangements will remind listeners of the "countrypolitian" orchestrations of Hem. Patsy Cline, the Carpenters and obscure 60s pop songs are the terrain she explores. Her voice is simply thrilling when it slides from a heartbreakingly fragile alto to a wordless flighty soprano that would make Roy Orbison green with envy.

A lovely little surprise!,

This review is from: Leave the Sad Things Behind (Audio CD)
I discovered Paula thanks to her guest appearance on the CD of another group. I really liked her voice and thought I should check out what else she has to offer.
Well, I am sooo happy I did that because this is a very lovely collection of songs indeed! She has that sort of voice that just sucks you right in-a voice like a crisp fall apple on a cold day. Strange thing to say, but there you have it. Her songs are well-written, and will grow on you more every time you listen to the CD. Overall, I'm glad this is part of my eclectic collection of outstanding music.
