This review is from: Verchuosity (Audio CD)
Four words: This One's A Keeper. Tasty, tasteful and diverse, I play this one over and over without ever tiring of it, and for me that's saying a lot. This, her first US release, is so good it made me immediately start searching around for how to get her Canadian stuff. April tackles Canadian Celtic reels as well as oldtime Appalachian and Swing styles, all with a confident energy and a teasingly sly slide (especially in "Sneaky"). Maybe "Verchuosity" is so listenable because of its diversity- as you listen through the CD it's constantly changing moods, from swingy to mysterious to the irresistibly funky "Diabinho Malucco" (hey, anyone who puts a Jacob do Bandolim tune on their CD gets my immediate attention)... and all of them infectious. Her violin tone is rosy warm, her timing very satisfying. No matter what one's favourite style is, if Verchuosity doesn't reach you, see your doctor. And she's only 22!? Life is good.
