good Canadian folk/pop This is an enjoyable CD to listen to. Sarah Harmer has a lovely voice and is a good lyricist.
not quiet what i was looking for
this album, while good, is not nearly as listenable. if you are new to sarah harmer check out You Were Here 1st.
Charming
It wafts across the room like a cool evening breeze. What a charming, lilting disc highlighting Harmer's crystalline voice backed by spare, relaxed strings. Harmer, who previously released some fine folk pop indulges her love of bluegrass on this disc, recorded over a week in a Toronto studio. The sound is intoxicating, but the real appeal is Harmer's voice and her willingness to be wide-eyed and innocent. "I am aglow with thoughts of you. Are the stories that you told me true? It doesn't matter if they are. They are to me. I am aglow," she sings on one of the disc's captivating cuts. Upright bass and plenty of acoustic instruments only add to the appeal. .
No comparison
This album was honestly a letdown for me after listening to "All Our Names" and "You Were Here," which included more of a variety of folky, jazzy, sultry songs. Sarah has obviously turned 100% folk. If you are counting on an album similar to the two mentioned above, think again. .
wonderful
great musicianship and singer-songwriter chops throughout. bluegrass-tinged songwriting from Canadian Sarah Harmer had me tapping my toe from the first. I especially loved the faster tempo songs with great guitar, mandolin, and fiddle solos. This release makes minimalist arrangements of acoustic music fresh and new sounding. .
