Title: introspective songs
Review: I am very fond of this album--it is introspective and sad, it expresses the losses McCaslin has suffered through the last couple of decades. Her voice is a bit more edgy than it was in her first album, but I think that adds to the impact of what she is singing about. It has the same western feel to it that Way Out West, her first album, had--conveying the Southwest and California, the open spaces, the deserts and mountains--but in this one all of those images are inside/interior--it is a very confessional album (whereas Way Out West was comprised of story telling, like traditional folk songs generally are). This is a much more personal collection of songs.
Is the review positive or negative?
