Title: Moon Has Left the Sky
Product review: Claudia Russell'sSong Foodknocked my socks off, particularly the lovely ballad "Weakness." A bit after the fact, I realize that "Ready to Receive" was released several years ago. Her song "Galesburg" smokes like the ache after last call, "The train has left the station & the moon has left the sky; There ain't nothin' left inside of me, There ain't nothin' left to try." Russell has an expressive voice that trills with energy as on "He Ain't Coming Back," a bluesy talk-sing with Russell's voice moaning on the chorus. Claudia's take on Bob Dylan's "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" has a breathless anticipation with Andy Ratliff's banjo pulsing joyfully. "Bugs" is one of the most unusual songs I've heard recently, "Please don't eat my beans." "Miss Fortune" shines with a lovely plaintive melody, "I dreamed that my life was joyful & gay, but this time misfortune has come to stay." "Ready to Receive" is a good sophomore set from this very talented singer. Enjoy!
