Title: It Will Grow on You
Review: "Lay it Down" isn't one of those CDs where you pop it in and the first time you hear it, you love it. In fact, if you've already become a Jennifer Knapp fan because of "Kansas," you might be really disappointed by this CD...at first. Jennifer excels at folk/rock type music, and on this CD there are several tracks that step out of that genre...and it takes some getting used to. The lyrics are also less straightforward than they were on "Kansas." The best way of describing the difference is that "Kansas" was a photograph, and "Lay it Down" is an impressionistic painting. "Kansas" is more tangible and easily perceived, but there is also a richness in the ambiguity of "Lay it Down." So if you like Jennifer, you'll like "Lay it Down," but just don't expect another trip to "Kansas."
