This review is from: Simple Truths (Audio CD)

I first heard Yasmine White at a house concert. I sat so close that when she dropped her guitar pick I had to move my foot so she could pick it up. (By that point I was so in awe that I didn't even realize she'd dropped it.) When she first began to sing that day, proximity became irrelevant. Her voice is so mature, her songs so suited to her voice, her styling so suited to her lyrics and to her melody, that the whole concept of seamlessness is redefined in listening to her.

I was worried that Yasmine on CD would be only the faintest approximation of Yasmine four feet away. I need not have worried. It is astonishingly well-produced.

For years I have wanted there to be a genre called Adult Music, not in the euphemistic and oxymoronic sense of "adult" but capturing what it means to be grown up. What love feels like (and yes, that includes making love,) and loss, and hope, and the emotions and the blessings that will probably never again be unmixed, and about being a poet/singer who writes and sings about these things -- who indeed has almost no choice but to do so.

Yasmine's work is the very archetype of music for grownups. You will hear her CD and before the third track is over you'll be thinking of the people you want to give one to.
