Title: Almost as good as seeing them live!
Product review: The Kennedys are chameleons. Folk, pop, rock, bluegrass, they reincarnate with each tune. The consistent things, which are clear on this recording, are Pete's flawless guitar playing and Maura's clear, haunting voice. The tunes are all memorable- I find myself humming them all the time and my kids, ages 6 and 10, know most of the words. Is this a profound album? Hardly. But it never pretends to be anything more than it is- good music. If you get to see The Kennedys in performance, you'll run to buy their stuff. If you're just looking for something catchy, listenable, and fun, this album is for you. And if you like this, try Evolver (higher tech) or River of Fallen Stars (simpler and low tech). You might be surprised but you'll never be sorry.
