The Pomegranate Seed once again showcases Cosy Sheridan's ability to bring the listener through an unforgettable experience. From Barbie dolls to fad diets, from Eve to the tragi-comic experience of bathing suit shopping, Cosy becomes Everywoman and comes to grips with her body, her self-image and all that it implies, and in the end, finding a way to joyfully inhabit her own body.
Consider this a concept album that can be broken into individual songs that stand, all by themselves, as works of art.

Cosy's guitar work and voice are beautifully augmented by Kent Allyn's harmonies and virtuoso bass and guitar, not to mention his stylized keyboard work. Steve Schuch breathes an added dimension with his violin work, John Faggiano's percussion is a strong, yet not overpowering, presence in "Survivor" and "My Mother's House",and Eric Holter's harmonies add a soulful touch to "My Mother's House". If there was an album whose creation I would like to have witnessed this would be the one. Some of the songs here have been recorded before by Cosy, but "The Little Train", "The Losing Game", "Sharp Objects" and "Bad Cliche" are painstakingly reworked and transformed to blend into this beautiful and sometimes dark journey. In the end as we discover in "You Can Always Go Home", "..there are more ways over the rainbow than just sorrow,loss and pain.."
This cd is also the soundtrack to Cosy's One-Woman Musicalogue and when she performs it in your area, be in the audience but bring a box of tissues..you will be transfixed and transformed.

title song is great. entire CD is really cool, probably more for the female persuasion who can relate. Very clever lyrics.
