Lovelight

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Although Claire Lynch is not as well known outside bluegrass circles as Alison Krauss, their musical strengths are similar. Both can be breathtakingly captivating singers, and both look beyond traditional bluegrass for creative inspiration. Yet, while Krauss remains primarily an interpreter of others' material, Lynch presents herself as a singer-songwriter. Love Light is the first of her albums to feature a majority of her own material. Standout tracks include "I Don't Have to Dream," the kind of folk-pop song Krauss might kill for, and the Western swinger "Stranger Things Have Happened." Lynch's Front Porch String Band is augmented by special guests including fiddler Glen Duncan, Dobro player Rob Ickes, and harmony vocalist Keith Little. --Rick Mitchell

2 out of 5 stars Okay.......2007-05-01

Claire Lynch has a nice voice and nice background music. Unfortunately too many of her songs have that "Cole Porter" sound and feel. Many of her songs have the Cole Porter sound, touch, and general tune...which is quite irritating since it reminds me of the Lawrence Welk Show and Big Band Era, which I am a little tired of. Country and Big Band (Cole Porter) just don't go together. Almost all of her songs have that Cole Porter sound...which gets damn well annoying after a while. By the way, a light drum would be pretty rather than just a drab guitar. Give me a break...Claire Lynch is trying to give Cole Porter a "Redneck" sound...no way in hell that's going to work out. The songs "Stranger things have happened" is almost 100% a Cole Porter song with the Redneck voice of Claire Lynch...my goodness, this does not work out (and sounds awful). Claire...please stick to country!

5 out of 5 stars Bright and breezy bluegrass.......2004-10-04

Claire has never been a prolific recording artist but she makes up for that with the quality of her music. With a voice that has echoes of Emmylou, an excellent group of musicians and great songs, Claire could have been far more successful than she has been, had she devoted her life to music. Instead, Claire has lived her life the way she wanted to.

In the past, Claire has written some of her own material but this album is the first in which she has written or co-written over half the songs. Furthermore, none of the other songs are well known. The feel of the album is upbeat but there are no high-energy songs here - most of the songs are mid-tempo with the occasional slower song. As ever, Claire's music is rooted in bluegrass but has other influences - this one veers towards folk.

On this album, Claire is backed by Jim Hurst (acoustic guitar), Missy Raines (bass), Larry Lynch (mandolin, bouzouki), Glen Duncan (fiddle, twin fiddles), Rob Ickes (dobro, Wabash Avenue guitar), Pat McInerney (drums), Robert Bowlin (fiddle) and Alison Brown (banjo), though usually only five musicians play on any track.

With this album, Claire firmly established herself as a singer-songwriter of the highest quality. If you enjoy such singers as Lucinda Williams and Lucy Kaplansky and you also enjoy bluegrass, you should find this to be the perfect addition to your collection.

5 out of 5 stars Claire Lynch.......2000-08-12

The fun and excitement of country blue grass music is captured perfectly by Claire Lynch and her front porch band. As competent as the band is, however, it is the silky and harmonious vocals of Claire Lynch that drive this CD; particularly on tracks like "I Don't Have to Dream" and the title track, "Love Light". In addition to her wealth of talent, Claire Lynch brings a level of depth and emotion to this effort, making it a superb CD.

5 out of 5 stars True Bluegrass.......2000-07-13

This is the BEST bluegrass album I have ever owned. I am a banjo picker and very familiar with bluegrass - this album opens new territory. All the songs are wonderful and they are a joy to listen to - one right after the other. I believe that she opens new territory with a bluesy bluegrass. I regard this as my favorite bluegrass album of all times!

5 out of 5 stars LOVE LIGHT SHINES!.......2000-05-28

I have been a fan of Claire Lynch for years, and have seen her and the Front Porch String Band in concert many times. LOVE LIGHT is my favorite so far. I never take it out of the CD changer. Claire has always had a unique perspective on the bluegrass genre that she calls home. Her incredible vocal talents show that she can sing anything, and shouldn't be limited to bluegrass. And yet she remains true to it, while always spreading her wings to pure country, like "I Don't Have To Dream." As she showed on MOONILIGHTER, with "My Heart is a Diamond," she is as at home with country as she is with bluegrass. I really think she could be a bigger country star if she didn't remain so closely identified with bluegrass. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE BLUEGRASS, but I think some of it's biggest stars are known simply as bluegrass stars. Check out LOVE LIGHT, you won't be disappointed. If you like it, try MOONLIGHTER, you'll like it, too.
