Inspiring and Inspired!, July 31, 2001
This review is from: Mikveh (Audio CD)
This album is a celebration of life. Of a woman's life, a Jew's life, a mother's life, a human being's life. The songs cover abuse, death, longing, joy, growth, marriage, motherhood and celebration. These five excellent musicians make the transition from bat mitzvah to miscarriage, messianic longing to borscht beautifully and seemlessly. The contrast of voices, vocal harmonies, supberb accordian, violin, bass and clarinet playing would alone be enough to make this a great album--but the feeling, the carefully chosen texts and melodies give it that extra push towards perfection. So give it a listen and hear Mikveh's honest and beautiful tribute to a Jewish woman's life. Even if you aren't a Jew or a woman you'll be moved to tears and inspired to bounce around your livingroom. Perfect!
