Title: What A Voice! What great songs!
Product review: Wow! This Christy McWilson can sing! Pretty darn great songwriter to boot. Picked this up for the same reason I picked up Katy Moffatt's disc last year, because I am a Dave Alvin nut! Now I am a Christy MacWilson and Katy nut as well. He knows how to pick em. Your editorial review picks a bit about the production, and in a couple of respects I agree. The ballad, Wishin' is absolutely georgous, and Christy's voice could have carried it, my opinion - that it was kinda overloaded with pedal steel (which I usually love) and such, I dunno, it sounds kind of stock here. Plus, besides adding star power to the festivities - I do not see what use those REM malletheads add to the equation, they play with equal lack of feel, no matter what genre they attempt. Some REAL studio hands could have REALLY made this a classic!
