Negative Positive
Title: 100% Organically Grown
Review: As has been pointed out in other reviews here, this one evokes "Eye" and "I often dream of trains", two of Robyn's great, mostly unplugged albums. Most of this CD was evidently recorded live, but I think I hear a few backwards guitars, which may have served as base tracks upon which Robyn, Gillian Welch, and David Rawlings laid the live tracks. He likes to alternate between acoustic and electric from album to album(and within a given album for that matter). He's a master of taking the acoustic songs later, turning them sideways and playing them with a 5 piece band. There are several tracks on this CD which are suited for that, and will undoubtedly resurface that way in a year or two, which is something to look forward to. In the meantime, enjoy this one. It's got a great organic feel, but there are lots of latent intricacies, which like all things organic, will continue to grow lushly into the cracks and crevices in the back of your mind.
Is the review positive or negative?
