5.0 out of 5 stars An Honest Voice, February 14, 2000

This review is from: Lonesome Standard Time (Audio CD)

Kathy Mattea does not possess the same cover-model's looks that bless the likes of Shania Twain, but her voice and her material are more substantial than most of what one hears from the current crop of "airbrush beauties" that Nashville is dealing these days. Her interpretations on this CD are honest and mature, relating some common human experiences that are accessible to just about everyone. The wistful ballads "Seeds" and "Knee-Deep in a River" are emotionally affecting without being sappy, and the title cut and "33, 45, 78" are clever without being cutesy. No culls at all on this one. Some CDs are interesting for a while, but soon disappear. This one will stay in my "often-played" stack. I even plan to perform a couple of the cuts myself.

Shania Who? Faith Who? Martina Who? Kathy Mattea makes these current country babes sound like pre-schoolers. Over the years, Kathy has churned out brilliant albums, filled with magnificent songs and the clearest, most emotional vocals of any other country singer, with the possible exception of Trisha Yearwood. At any rate, Kathy's early "Lonesome Standard Time" is a brilliant collection of heartbreaking ballads and fun up-tempo tunes. This young lady from West Virginia is a class act and deserves much more recognition than she has received. I would suggest LeAnn Rimes listen to Kathy's albums and learn why she needs to mature as a vocalist before she'll ever reach the pinnacles she obviously has set for herself. What a wonderful CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to this CD--and fall in love with Kathy's voice, April 4, 2000

That was the first CD from Kathy Mattea we had, and all the family, old and young, just fell in love with that voice. We still feel the need to listen to it over and over again. I wish she were better known in Europe and came here on a tour!
