Daniel Lanois Truely Amazing!.......2007-02-21

I listen to this album all the time even though I've had it for years. Daniel Lanois is one of my favourite artists. We saw him in Ottawa when he toured at the Bluesfest! Most excellent!

Don't Burn It, Buy It...Lanois Deserves It.......2004-11-14

Give Daniel Lanois his due...this guy has been making others sound great then he humbly applies his talents to his own music and look what happens. This album is truly a work of art. It has something for everyone and everything for some. DL uses innovation likes its found at the corner store and yet he is able to strike again and again at our inner chord that makes music so precious. This will be in my ready to listen selection for as long as I have ears. Interpret it yourself, Wynona is meant to be discovered...over and over again.

My Desert Island Treasure!.......2004-04-24

I hope my cd player is solar powered so I can listen to my favorite disc for eternity on my desert island paradise! Daniel has written & produced the soundtrack for my SOUL! I love every nuance of his production on both his & all the artists he has worked with. I feel he has taken Dylan & P. Gabriel to euphoric heights. I hear something fresh upon every spin. It is artists like Daniel that keep me afloat in this "Rocky World". I have purchased at least 15 copies of this masterpiece over the years and blessed many with it's grace & awesome beauty.

Atmospheric beauty.......2002-12-18

Although Beauty Of Wynona is an excellent album judged on its own merits, inevitably it will be compared with the singular masterpiece Acadie. Lacking that one's wealth of enthralling songs, it nevertheless impresses with its own gems like Still Learning How To Crawl, Sleeping In The Devil's Bed and The Unbreakable Chain. The folky song with snatches of French here is The Collection of Marie Claire while Unbreakable Chain, the moving story of a mother and son's reunion, has that same French feel. Another touching song is Lotta Love with its chiming guitars, a tale of addiction and redemption. Indian has Native American drumming and reminds me slightly of Joni Mitchell's Lakota on Chalk Mark In A Rainstorm. The production is magical, as to be expected from Lanois: atmospheric instrumentation - including evocative synths - backing his soulful voice. This is a very good album offering much in the way of stirring, memorable music and Lanois remains true to his vision.

Money where mouth is.......2002-10-02

Either Daniel Lanois has fluked the fact that every album he's produced for a major league wash-up has been a collossal return to form, or he's got something special (a little "je ne sais quoi", peut-etre?) in his locker. Robbie Robertson, Peter Gabirel, U2 and Bob Dylan have all released remarkably good records - even for them - out of the blue with Me Lanois at the helm. In each case, production has been a definite strength of the record.

So with a solo album from le directeur himself, you'd think, you'd be able to tell sheep from goat pretty quickly. Sans major-leaguer, Lanois the fluker would be miserably exposed.

Well - and, bear in mind, this is his second outing - he isn't. On the contrary, this is a great record. A low key affair, for sure - it never breaks into much more than a gentle trot, and you could never say that it *rocked*, as such - but it's engaging, beautifully textured, innovative, and in refusing to wheel in major league guest stars, or even sing in English much of the time, Lanois embues it with a definite sense of "fous-moi le camp", which is never a bad thing.

I'm not sure it needed the (undeniably appealing but nonetheless) gratuitous cover, although for you poor Americans, decorum is retained courtesy of a judiciously placed legend declaring that you have the "American Edition".

Do yourself a favour and buy an import!
