5.0 out of 5 stars Miracles and magic in Miracle Row, March 3, 2000

By

This review is from: Miracle Row (Audio CD)

I bought this album as soon as it came out in 1977... in vinyl. As with her two previous albums Stars and Between the Lines, I replaced it at least twice... Janis Ian has that rare ability to paint emotions with music. She gets down into your soul and she gets under your skin. Whether it's a message (Sunset of Your Life) or a mourning (I'll Cry Tonight), or the miracle of love (Candlelight), Janis Ian can write, sing, and sell a tune. Great arrangements by Ron Frangipane and Claire Bay's backup vocals are supreme.

In my opinion, even though "Between the Lines" is probably Janis Ian's masterpiece album, "Miracle Row" is by far one of her most interesting works. I know that she was dissapointed that some listeners just didn't get it! The hard guitar licks "Slow Dance Romance" and the re-visitation to her love for jazz "Take to the Sky", are such a departure from the 2 previous Columbia efforts that, indeed, some jaws dropped. I didn't quite know how to take it at first. Even though I fell in love with "Candlelight" immediately and thought, and still believe that "Miracle Row/Maria" is the best thing she's ever done, the rest took some getting used to. After hearing it about 3 more times, it became my favorite Janis Ian album, and still is. Keep in mind that "Let Me Be Lonely" is a parody of disco, and don't take that one too seriously! If you don't have this album, trust me, and give it a try. Some very powerful music! It changed my life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spanish rhythms from the barrio, March 18, 2000

I too found this album after being blown away and carried away by "Between the Lines" (BTL). And I loved it nearly as much. The rhythms are upbeat, and the songs finely crafted. It contains that unique blend of hope, sensuality, melancholy and pathos that is the mark of an Ian song, again showing her incredible talent and versatility. This is one lady you will never be able to put in a musical category. Transcendant.
