Excellent Singer and song writerI recently saw Lucy in concert, she was absolutely Fantastic! I wanted some of her music and I bought "The Red Thread".
Remarkable album
Even after owning the album for a year, it is difficult for me to listen to without breaking out in tears when "Red Thread" comes on. For an understated as the album is at first listen, the emotional whallop and clarity is remarkable. Making this sort of emotional connection is a gift. I suggest you share in it.
Great & It's a love song & a reach out to the world**
Always have since my sister (who actually played in the same showcase once as Lucy) introduced me to her like 5 or 6 years ago. I love Lucy K. I saw her in concert with Dar & Richard for the Cry Cry Cry tour. She's great in concert, but this CD is wonderful.
It's a love song, for everyone, and for her & her husband on their journey to gather their new daughter. . . and bring her home. Hence, the Red Thread. . . ties everyone together. There's references to the horrifying events of 2001 in NY as Lucy K. lives there, but all the songs are just wonderful. You can sing along, and cry to some, and laugh. That's important. . . a CD has to touch you & this one does. Lucy sounds just perfect.
Beautiful songs
The songs are great. I bought this because Amazon reccomended it to me. She is a real talent.
Let me join the chorus
Mature, beautiful, and accessible lyrics with nice acoustics. I agree - a wonderful album. A nice complement, in my opinion, to similar high quality music from the likes of Dar Williams, Patty Griffin, Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka, Kasey Chambers, etc. .
