5.0 out of 5 stars disarmingly honest songwriting, commandingly soulful vocals, May 18, 2000

This review is from: Wisteria (Audio CD)

Mixing genres can often be a tricky task: How does one blend two or more genres without compromising the integrity of any individual one? Robin Pearl's "Wisteria" mixes rock'n'roll, country, & gospel-flavored r&b to maximum effect. Think Bonnie Raitt meets Bob Seger and you have some understanding of what I mean. Pearl's songwriting is especially commanding and -- at times -- disarming in what she confesses, exemplified by "Story" and "Nobody Sees the Angel." Vocally, she is a commanding powerhouse without being shrill or sounding affected. What is truly exceptional about this CD is that it was recorded independently -- without a deep-pocketed multinational conglomerate record company -- and yet sounds better than anything that Music Row in Nashville is pumping off its assembly line.

Robin's refresing combination of unique lyrics and ability to convey her emotions with her voice, represent the artistic talent of an up and coming star. I was fortuante to catch her live performance at a bookstore which compelled me to purchase her Wisteria CD. I loved watching her perform as she has a natural connection to her audience One of my favorite songs is "It Sure Ain't Love." What a great, catchy tune that really stays in your head and is a lot of fun to listen to. "Swim Across" offers a message and is a good reminder for relationships to stay strong. The words are accompanied by a strong beat, as if to get it into your head, which I feel is a subliminal point. Speaking of heads, this red head has a lot going for her, we will soon see her at the top.
