Title: Major Misstep From a Great Singer
Product review: Always a remarkable vocalist, Maria McKee really dropped the ball with this one. It isn't the absence of the country edged rock she made with her band Lone Justice (sort of Dolly Parton fronts the Blasters), nor is it that this one distances itself from the more polished sound of her first two solo efforts. The problem here is that few of the tracks on "Life is Sweet" can even be identified as songs. The production is far too overbearing that it drowns any melodic or lyrical interest that might have been present with a more comprehensive approach. The most die hard of McKee fans might want this to complete their collection, but newcomers should, without question, pass this one by.
