Negative Positive
Title: Subtly Addictive and Enduring
Review: I wandered into Portland's Music Millenium several years back when Mary was giving a free public performance along with another gifted traditional singer, Skip Gorman. Initially, I was more taken with Skip. I still like his music quite a bit. However, the quality of Mary McCaslin's song writing and her sincere and endearing voice also captured me over time.She writes quite honestly and effectively about losing those you love the most. And the pain and loneliness that follow. She does it with compassion and feeling--not with great anger or self-indulgent pity.She's a fine singer and songwriter that deserves far greater recognition. Her songs are extremely honest and revelatory. Listen and see what you think.
