This review is from: The Spring Thing (Audio CD)

I'm a little jealous of the above reviewer who has *13* tracks on The Spring Thing. Maybe his pressing was from a "leap year"...rotten joke. Anyway, this CD is most impressive - or should I say that the artist, her composing, arranging, producing, performing ability is impressive. The frequent theme is that in the bouncing back from social and psychological setbacks there is much wisdom to be gained, and the mood is decidedly melancholy, but somehow this artist offers a brightly melodic and rhythmic underpinning which at times is captivating: "The Earth and Sky", Beneath Her Smile", "Frustration", and "The Whole Point is..." [that one should have closed the album] are home and car-worthy tunes; not exactly background for a Saturday afternoon barbeque, but something quite palatable for the, shall we say, art-folk afficionado.
"Style Of Life" is the album closer, and has a Native-American sonic
insistence which should be appreciated in every listen.
A small citicism is that her voice is too far back on a few cuts.
