Title: Bullens rocks.
Review: Self-described rock and roller Cindy Bullens has been plying her trade for nearly 30 years now, and like her contemporaries Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, and Rosanne Cash, she does that fine-wine thing really well - just keepin' on improving with age. Bullens remains though, critically acclaimed but commercially overlooked. A situation which seems unlikely to change, despite her latest effort Dream #29 being the most compelling and enjoyable album of her career. Bullens excels here, on a set of songs that shifts gear effortlessly from acoustic poignancy to robustly rocking. There's much to admire throughout, from the heady, seductive atmosphere of opener `Oriental Silk' to the devastatingly beautiful `Mockingbird Hill' through to the poignant, heartfelt album closer `January Sky'. Dream #29 is a consistent winner. A raw, heart-stopping, life-affirming record.Like This? Try>Rosanne Cash - Black CadillacEmmylou Harris - Red Dirt GirlLucinda Williams - Essence
