About the Artist
Madeline MacNeil began performing in an old inn for tips and dinner; she sang and played acoustic guitar like many in her generation. She wanted to be like Judy Collins and Joan Baez! Almost three decades later she's still singing (Songbird of the Shenandoah, she's been called), but her stage is now cultural centers, community gathering places, and festivals throughout the United States-and hammered and mountain dulcimers are her instruments. Maddie's performances in the United States include The Barns at Wolf Trap, the Smithsonian Institution, the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival, and the National Cathedral. She has also played for such events as the O'Carolan Festival in Keadue, County Roscommon, Ireland; the Glasgow Festival of the Arts in Scotland; and for the Nonsuch Dulcimer Gathering in East Norton, Leicestershire, England. Her music has been part of several public television programs, including To Our Credit, a national production from Oregon Public Television. Through Arts Unlimited (Bowling Green State University) she worked with teachers and more than 2,600 children in Northwestern Ohio.
Mel Bay Publications has released several of her books. Among them are instruction books and videos for both mountain and hammered dulcimers, arrangements of hymns for hammered dulcimer, and, with historian Ralph Lee Smith, stories and songs of the Wilderness Road in the Cumberland Gap area of Eastern Kentucky. From Christmas to classical, traditional folk to jazz, her recordings include the just-released Songs Of Earth And Sea, As Time Goes By, A Place Apart, The Crowning Of The Year, and Heart's Ease, winner of an Indie Award in string music from NAIRD.
The Virginia Commission for the Arts has presented her with several touring artist grants and other organizations have awarded her for accomplishments within the dulcimer community.
Madeline is the editor and publisher of Dulcimer Players News, a quarterly journal with 4,000 subscribers world-wide.
Album Description
My ancestors made their way from England and Scotland to Newfoundland and Cape Breton, where the sea continued to be a meaningful part of their lives. Because of that heritage I am often called by the silkies, the waves, and beautiful songs back to the sea from my home near Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. These songs are captured by one voice or blended voices accompanied by combinations of hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, guitar, cello, bass, and banjo.

Customer Reviews:
LOVE IN ANY LANGUAGE.......2006-12-26
I bought this CD for the song "Love Is Spoken Here" which was sung at my father's funeral, to celebrate his life and love of music, especially Church music. Our soloist was a friend whose voice warmed our breaking hearts. But when I saw that I could also get the Mormon Tabernacle Choir version along with many other beautiful American songs, I ordered this. I highly recommend MTC if you are seeking choir music to lift your spirit.

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10
Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.
The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).
This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.
I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.
a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15
I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.
Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

Successful crossing over from East to West.......2007-07-06
Nowadays many classical musicians move to 'cross-overs' between Western classics to exotic works, and Chinese musicians and composers pioneer in cross-overs from Chinese music to Western.
Alas, not all attempts are successful. Either there has not been enough nurturing in the Chinese repertoire, or the western playing style has not yet been fully developed.
Ms. Yang is a young classical guitarist. Gathering from what she said in her own introduction to this disc, she is a musician with a great ambition. It is true that the classical guitar may not have a substantial repertoire as other western instruments like the violin and piano. Hence drawing materials from other culture in a guitarist's repertoire is both a necessity and an endeavour.
A guitarist from Beijing, Ms. Yang is familiar with classical Chinese instruments like the gu qin, the zheng and the pipa. These ancient Chinese instruments are like the guitar- all are played by plucking strings set on wooden surfaces. So as Ms Yang herself noted - the guitar originated from the Middle East, a 'cross-over' area of Eastern and Western culture.
In many of the modern works recorded in this disc, Ms Yang played the guitar to the effect of those ancient Chinese instruments, and this is quite stunning. Her familiarity with the Eastern musical style is fully demonstrated, adding the requisite flavour of authenticity to her interpretation. There are a number of great compositions of the gu qing, the zheng as well as the pipa, and I truly look forward to Ms Yang's transcriptions of those to the guitar in due course.
A highly recommended recording for guitar players, guitar lovers and Chinese music fans alike.
One of the best solo guitar albums I have ever heard.......2006-10-06
One of the most original CDs I've ever heard. This CD is full of incredible music. Yang XueFei plays with sensitivity, creativity and passion.
When I played this CD for my guitar teacher, he commented that it was rare for him not to have heard at least one piece on any particular classical guitar CD, yet all these pieces were new to him. Carlo Domeniconi (who wrote the masterpiece "Koyunbaba") has composed an outstanding suite based on the I Ching. The 3 pieces by Stephen Goss, which are based on Asian films, are themselves cinematic: "The Blue Kite" is a work of minimalist beauty. There are many other talented composers lending their gifts to this CD. Most of the selections are either composed for Yang Xuefei or are arrangements by her. All are inspired by Chinese culture and music. My favorite piece is "Long Outstretched Pier with its Shadow" (by Dietmar Ungerrank); it is elegantly written and the execution is sensual and rich.
Yang XueFei's technical agility, especially the right hand, (as in "Yi Dance") goes beyond that of her contemporaries. As impressive as this is, the passion she imbues into each work is what connects her to the songs and ultimately to the audience. Technique is there to help her express what is inside of her. It is as if the guitar is her lover. This just isn't a great guitar album; it is a great album period. Its emotional complexity deepens with each listening. Buy it!
I've also purchased "Romance de Amor" which is extremely good as well (listen to her version of "Requerdos de la Alhambra" as compared to one of her heroes, John Williams on "The Guitarist"), but "Si Ji" is totally unique. Don't miss it.
As an aside, If you do end up buying and enjoying this CD, you might listen to Lily Afshar. The influence of her Persian heritage is similar in effect to "Si Ji" by Yang XueFei. Both artists have breathed life into the modern repertoire of guitar music.
Virtuoso playing and an unusual repetoire.......2005-10-26
I am a classical guitar student, and an over-the-top consumer. So I have a lot (many dozens) of classical guitar CDs. They are for the most part quite good, but they tend to blend. I might be able to distinguish Tennant's Rodrigo or Barrueco's Scarlatti, but too many guitarists play an awful lot of the same repetoire, and they play it quite similarly.
This CD is quite different. The pieces are all Asian in flavor and by composers I had never heard of. And they are quite beautiful. Ms. Yang appears to be quite young, so this could be the start of a long and interesting career. But at least one of the pieces was written for her, so she has already apparently developed a solid reputation.

The picture.......2006-12-11
I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Nice Collection.......2007-03-05
I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.
PERFECT!.......2006-10-26
There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!
The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.
Great singing and excellent value for money.......2004-09-19
This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!
More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'.......2001-08-02
Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

Customer Reviews:
decent album.......2007-07-15
I bought this album because I am a huge fan of The Misfits, Samhain and Danzig. I didn't know what to expect.
Musically this album absolutely rocks! It's heavy and very punk but can also be melodic at times.
I am not really a fan of AFI. I know what some of their songs are about (horror punk rock) and even saw them live once back on the Danzig/Samhain tour back at the end of 1999. While they were great live (and the pit was moshing 2 seconds before the music even started) the vocals never really did it for me. I was used to Danzig's rough growl. While I didn't hate it, it was a bit different.
This CD is good but the vocals really don't do it for me. I don't hate the vocals, I just wasn't used to them. They are not so bad now.
Davey Havok wrote all the songs here. For the most part they are dark (how I like em) and the only really bad song here is Invocation. The music for it is great, but the lyrics seem very uninspired and kind of flat. But the rest of this CD is amazing.
Of Power has some great keyboards and the fast drumming by London May is incredible. Stray, Evernight and In The Hills are all a great mixture of Samhain and AFI. The title track here starts a bit slow and is followed by two even better songs in Satiate and Of Man.
Michael is clearly the best song here. The writing is awesome and this is Davey's best vocal. Purevil wasn't quite as good as the other songs, but still decent. And Invocation I have already commented on.
So i can imagine that any AFI or Samhain fan has this already. If not, I would suggest picking it up even if you're a fan on both bands or only one of them. This is a good solid CD. 4 stars for this.
Awesome CD!.......2007-02-14
This CD is so weird that it's just awesome! i love it, it's addictive. it's a perfect combo of people for this band. i swear that i read that the lead singer of the misfits was in this, but i'm not sure. i don't see or hear anything about him in it... :( oh well, awesome CD.
I love this album!.......2007-01-13
It's only been a month or two that I got this cd and it quickly became one of my favorites. Great lyrics, great vocals, great music. I highly recommend this.
Rock Superteam.......2006-11-03
If you like Afi and high energy music with a classic hard rock feel, then you will love Son of Sam. It's an ally of Danzig(misfits), Afi and Tiger Army. If you like any of those bands you will appreciate this cd. It's not for everyone have you..it's like fine wine, you must already have an aquired taste to like Son of Sam. If you do, you won't be disappointed. This is a classic cd in the staple of Rock. It also makes a good soundtrack while playing Doom or Halo. For those of you who know what I mean, get this rare cd before they are all gone.
one of my all time fav cds.......2006-01-06
This is a great album, the best part is in the lyrics, though the music is good too. The lryics are meaningful, makes you think, and has its own evil but interesting philosophy on life. Listen to "michael" and if you like it, you'll probably like all the other songs. This might not be for everyone if you don't get it.

It never gets old!.......2007-06-30
Mike's music on this CD seems to seamlessly mold to whatever mood, circumstance or environment you may find yourself in. It's in my top 10 all time favorites right up there with selections from Wolfgang, Zeppelin,Part and Miles. My only advice? Buy it!
One of Oldfield's Best!.......2006-12-13
Mike Oldfield's music is so eclectic and therefore very unpredictable. The man is a genius, but honestly, he has produced some albums I can't stand. The Songs of Distant Earth, however, is awesome. It's one of those albums you can listen to for days on end. It reminds me a great deal of a cross between Enigma and Vangelis with his signature guitar style entwined throughout. It is mixed with very quiet surreal moments to more upbeat with chants and operatic vocals, making this one of those rare albums where you actually enjoy ALL of the tracks. This is definitely worth owning. I just discovered this and will be adding it to our radio broadcast.
IMO his best work!.......2006-11-21
This album is simply fascinating!
It starts with 'In the beginnig' and continues with 'Let There Be Light', 2 very inspired songs which introduce you to the entire atmosphere of the album.
Oceania is an 'Island' style of song, although better sounding.
A New Beginning is a great song with a foreign speaking choir which definitely conveys the message of a 'New Beginning'!
There is not a single song on this album that one feels it should not be there.
Overall, extremely inspired and sending the audience a sense of 'well being' and 'out of this world'!
Haven't got tired of it yet.......2006-10-01
I'm 54 years old and have listened to thousands of hours of everything from A to ZZ Topp. And, I can honestly say that it took longer to get burnt out on this album than any other I've ever heard before. Other reviewers have covered the details of this album quite well. I don't know what more I could say. It's good. Real good.
In the Beginning.....God created Mike Oldfield!!.......2006-09-01
Concept albums are something that is inextricably linked to that genre of rock music known as progressive. But it has been noted that although a major exponent of that form, Mike Oldfield very rarely composes concept albums. He himself has admitted that "Tubular Bells" is not a concept album, but just a continuous suite of music. I would argue that "The Songs of Distant Earth" is in fact his first out and out concept album. Based on Arthur C. Clarke's novel of the same name, Oldfield forgoes the direct narration that the other famous concept album based on a novel "War of the Worlds" utilised and instead chooses to tell the story almost entirely with music. The form and shape of Oldfield's album is a creation myth and what better way to start than with a track called "Let there be Light". Naturally for an album dealing with the forces of nature, creation, technology and science Oldfield produces an epic and epochal grandeur too an album that could in other less talented hands turned out flat and uninspired. It was only logical that Oldfield (a musician always wanting to forge into new frontiers and technologies) should embrace dance and ambient music. At the time of the albums release this was a market cornered by Enigma and at times, especially on the lead single "Hibernaculum" Oldfield comes perilously close to sounding a little too like them. But amid the programmed and heavily sequenced music, Oldfield's soaring and lamenting lead guitar shines, imperious and saying so much more than mere words can. This album was also one of the first to have CD Rom material contained within it, Oldfield proves some twenty-one years after his first album that innovation still comes naturally to him. This is a definite highlight for Oldfield in the 1990's and probably the best album he did for Warners.

Great Stuff.......2007-06-25
I love this soundtrack, and can't wait to see a LIVE production! There is so much terrific music on here. It is really refreshing. Actors looking for new audition material have to buy this album. Songs like "It's all about me" are perfect for a performer with the right acting chops.
Broadway Bound!.......2007-06-22
This music and story is very reminiscent of A Chorus Line.telling the story of what transpires pre-Broadway auditions.Its like Part One of A Chorus Line.Something like what Wicked is to The Wizard of Oz..what went on before the story we all know by now.The lyrics are sometimes humourous, and at other times full of heartfelt pathos, but a great mix of emotions coming from these young college hopefuls while planning their futures,all aiming to be on the stage. It sounds like a hummable,old fashioned musical that should wind its way to, and should remain on Broadway, forever,delighting audiences both old and young. Everyone can find something to like in Green Room. I absolutely love it and I've worked in the theater business while living in NYC so have heard just about everything in Broadway musicals.This has the earmarks of a big beautiful Broadway success written all over it!! C.A.Sussman
nothing can stop these boys!.......2007-06-22
C. Stephen Foster and Chuck Pelletier are genius'. they've written a smart, witty, incredibly entertaining musical about four angsty kids with growing pains.
The show is about four kids in college, taking a theatre track. one of them is gay and questioning, another serves as the "patriarch," a third as the "lost little lamb," and yet another who only wants to get what she wants, when she wants it, but makes the best of what she gets instead.
The musical score is very well written, and the lyrics are intelligent and edgy. Picture "Avenue Q" meets "A Chorus Line" but marries "Spring Awakening," and you have a fairly good idea of what "The Green Room" is. Though, one couldn't POSSIBLY classify "The Green Room" with any other musical, as it stands out and shines on its own.
The musical styles vary, and while it may seem hard to follow (according to one review), give the musical such an all-encompassing feel that provides for a wonderful musical romp!
I, like many others, would not be surprised if this show makes it to New York City. Foster and Pelletier make for a wonderful team, and their successes thus far can only be heightened, should this show come to light.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who can stomach content, for it is a shear delight and wonderful musical theatre experience.
Awesome!.......2007-06-20
I just bought "The Green Room" and really enjoyed it. Some of the songs are stuck in my mind and I keep singing them over and over in my head, so I guess that's a good sign. It's fun and lively, and I really enjoyed the irreverent humor.
A Mixed Bag.......2007-05-21
It's okay. Nice to have a small original musical, but it's uneven musically and lyrically and hard to follow the story.

Boobs, babes, and bad guys!!.......2006-12-30
Hahahaha,
Oh, Riggs. What the hell? I bought this album strictly for the reason Zombie wasn't in it (sorry Rob). Shadowing the footsteps of the great white zombie himself, SOTE, freaking tripped over its own feet... So I know what your thinking, why the hell did you buy it if it isn't that great. Well kids, that's what I do! I buy crap! Then I come here to write about everything that doesn't have to do with it, and basically tell you to check it out for yourself, so you don't have to follow everyone else, and can stand up, grow some balls and make your own decisions rather then reading what everyone else says and decide after that. I mean come-on, how are you ever going to like or dislike things, if you're constantly taking someone else's opinion rather then finding out for yourself? (Slowly stepping down off soapbox) Seriously folks, I pop this CD in every now and then to get a little something different. How different you may ask? Well, listen for yourself. Better then any of Zombie albums?? Nah. How about better then the NEW Zombie album? Nope. So what then? Just a little change of pace, that's all. Think of it on the lines of Blood... Different people same blood. Different bands... Same sound... And to me. It's all GROOVY.
not zombie----still very good.......2006-08-31
A very good album. 2 songs are slow, but over all very good.
Cool, a new Zombie album. No wait a minute........2006-07-19
Well the ghouls have moved on without their master. Scum of the Earth is basically Rob Zombie's old band, and the question being has Riggs and the Tempstra brothers produced a good album? My answer is yes, for the most part. I'm not really sure why they left Zombie. From what people have said they basically got tired of waiting for Rob to finish with his directing work and they decided to move on with their own band. Can't say I blame them
At first glance the artwork on the album cover looks just like a Rob Zombie record. Then one turns the album over and the song titles look just like songs from a Zombie album. Moreover, when the cd is played I had to double-check the band listing because at first I thought I was hearing Rob singing. No actually Riggs is on lead vocals, well he certainly learned a lot from his old partner. As whole I enjoyed this album. I have been a fan of Rob Zombie for years, so I do think this record rocks. With that being said, it's biggest flaw, but yet it's strength is the album sounds too much like Zombie's work. If one is a fan of Rob Zombie's music he or she should enjoy this record.
Because of the record's close similarity to the other Zombie releases one has to compare the two. Which brings me to the conclusion that it is not as strong as most of Rob or White Zombie's work, maybe except for "Educated Horses". This not to say it's not good. This album does continue more in theme of "Sinister Urge" and "Hellybilly" Deluxe than "Educated Horses". In my opinion I don't like either album more than the other. They both have their strong and weak points. Actually, if one combined the best aspects from both, there would be one heck of strong album. This tells me that Riggs played a bigger part in Zombie's music than I thought and the two need to reunite! Only time will tell.
just what i was looking for.......2006-04-13
after being disappointed with that new zombie album someone pointed me in this direction and my god this is what i've been looking for. there's like 2 tracks i don't like (spiders track >_
< ) everything was the bomb. just need to work on the lyrics cause some songs can get repetative but i'd recommed it to anybody who likes old zombie
Up the scums .......2005-09-10
This cd owns from the 1st song on.
I saw SOTE live and they had the coolest live show ive ever seen.If you get a chance to see them DO IT.

WOW!.......2006-07-18
You know those moments in life that you'll always remember where you were and what you were doing? The day I first heard "Earth & Sky" is one of those days for me. I was spellbound from start to finish. If you love masterful songwriting, get this cd! If you love great song-enhancing arrangements, get this cd. If you love performances from the heart, get this cd. If you love great music, get this cd.
I agree with the others that "Maple's Lament" is just one of the most unique and greatest songs ever. Singing along w/the soulful harmonies of "Haven of Mercy" is an absolutely religious experience, likewise w/"Hills of Home". And what a gift Lewis gives to the world in sharing the insights of her dying grandmother in "I Saw the Light".
Thanks, Laurie!
"The Maple's Lament" makes the album.......2006-05-03
This album offers good, quality bluegrass from start to finish. Laurie Lewis writes and sings from the heart, without excessive embellishment. Her voice is suitable to the music, and her arrangements and instrumentation are mainly free from gimmicks. Like life, her work speaks for itself. On the whole, I would give this four stars, but for the presence of a masterpiece on this album.
What makes the album special is "The Maple's Lament." This song is the saddest piece of existentialism I have ever heard. Accompanied by the mournful wail of a solo violin (being played on two strings), the singer tells the tale of the maple tree, its memories and its days in the sun. I won't ruin the surprise any further for anyone who may not guess the point. The solo violin is beautifully played.
Just buy it.......2005-08-24
I had not heard of Laurie Lewis until I heard her on satellite radio playing "The Maples Lament" from the CD. I'm a great fan of such music and bought the album based on that single song. Wow! This has become the CD I listen to most. All I can say is buy it you won't be disappointed.
Draws from Laurie's three "Flying Fish" albums.......2002-11-07
Vocalist, instrumentalist, and bandleader Laurie Lewis displays her many musical talents and abilities with the release of Earth & Sky: Songs Of Laurie Lewis. This outstanding CD collection draws from Laurie's three "Flying Fish" albums, as well as four previously unreleased tracks. Very strongly recommended listening for fans of bluegrass, folk, and homegrown country music, Earth & Sky includes Girlfriend, Guard Your Heart (2:41); Green Fields (4:48); Don't Get Too Close (3:34); Love Chooses You (4:31); Texas Bluebonnets (4:10); Fine Line (4:48); Old Friend (3:56); The Maple's Lament (4:51); The Bear Song (3:50); The Light (3:55); The Point of No Return (3:55); Restless Rambling Heart (3:37); I'd Be Lost Without You (4:53); The Hills of My Home (2:38); Haven of Mercy (5:05); and Magical Light (3:55).
Singer, songwriter, fiddler extraordinaire!.......2000-09-23
Other Laurie Lewis albums allow you to enjoy her remarkable affinity for Bill Monroe and other bluegrass classics. On this album, her own songs are showcased, and it is an incredible collection. There is some awesomely serious songwriting talent on display here -- every song is full of heart, intelligence, informed by eyes that seem to see a lot more of both human nature and the natural world than most others manage to notice. Lewis's albums are always notable for their excellent song selection, and this album helps us understand why: what she herself writes is unfailingly beautiful, intelligent, and musically top-notch.
And it would be remiss of me not to comment on her incredible vocals. She effectively uses her voice as a complex, rich instrument, and it sounds better and better with every release. Her mastery and control of her voice just seem to be on an ever-upward curve. At some points in her songs, I listen to what her voice does just within the space of a single word, and I'm amazed.
Whether it's Lewis's vibrant fiddling matched to the great story of "The Bear Song," the plaintive "Love Chooses You" (with incredible resonator guitar backup by Jerry Douglas) or the norteno/swing-inflected "Texas Bluebonnets," this is a collection you shouldn't miss. It will be one of your favorites right out of the box, then will grow on you even more with every hearing.
