Title: Overproduction, Overproduced, Yikes!
Review: I guess Jim Akin the producer of this project was so excited to finally get to do something that he made the biggest mistake that most young producers make. Put in everything but the kitchen sink! The overboard production takes away from Maria Mckee's beautiful voice, artistry, and mystic. True genius knows restraint and that's not demonstrated here. I guess he never heard "less is more", especially on his bass playing which totally takes center stage on this record. I'm a big fan of Maria's and think a different producer on this project would have really been a better choice. Some good songs, some great moments, if again you can hear past the "notice me" production. Don't get me wrong there are some great moments, but those are quite dirivitive of lots of obvious acts.Still worth a listen though!
