5.0 out of 5 stars I beg to differ with our friend!, February 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Stars (Audio CD)

I think I'd like 5 minutes alone with "Our Good Friend from New England" (See below)...How dare you! You are no friend of mine! If it were just that, and the only 'artists' awarded labels were those willing to dollup large amounts of...what...I cannot even imagine what exactly you are looking for! Have you listened to the amount of garbage that continually graces our radio waves? Surely to you, that filth is deserved of being distrubuted? You must be kidding me!

Lori Carson's work may not ever be featured on a party hits collection, but thank God for that! Her work is quaint, contrite, and holds a special place in my music collection, for special moods and distinct times. And talent, she has plenty! Thanks so much, Lori, you deserve it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another gift of pure beauty from Lori Carson, October 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stars (Audio CD)

I am a huge fan of Lori Carson's music. She creates music of stunning purity while conveying experiences and sentiments with which we all can identify. Stars sounds like a bit of a departure from her earlier albums -- less acoustic and more groove oriented at times, but still peaceful, gorgeous, and definitely Lori. She is one of those artists who has not fallen into the trap that so many have - she sticks to music that feels intimate, close to her own heart, and avoids molding her sound according to what will be accessible to the masses. Lori's music is for those who appreciate sitting at home with a cup of tea by the fire. It warms the heart.

2.0 out of 5 stars I love Lori, I couldn't take to this album..., December 16, 2001

This review is from: Stars (Audio CD)

I think there's two reasons why I'm cool to Stars, but love much of her other works: (1) the production is overblown, and (2) the songwriting just isn't up to par.

These two problems work in concert on Stars. Face it, despite anything David Gray might tell you, some music isn't cut out for sampling. Sometimes I feel Lori is a folk musician in denial.

For a better taste of Lori's incrediable talents check out Everything I Touch Runs Wild, Where It Goes, or, if you can find it, Shelter.
