CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Thirtysomething Boston folkie McKenna often comes off like another Dar Williams acolyte, but sometimes she's a bit more. Her waifish voice and pretty acoustic arrangements can give way to a snarling wit. "I heard about Adam and Eve," she sings on the skeptical, newgrass-styled "God Will Thank You," "but I still believe she never got a fair trial." Her coffeehouse jottings can yield genuinely catchy songs like the sensual "This Fire" and the sunny, bubbly "Girl Like Me." Unfortunately, they also yield some precious poesy, or worse, songs like "Pink Sweater," a rather obvious slag of hate crimes. Vengeful preaching doesn't much become McKenna, but the simpler, more personal emotions of songs such as the solo acoustic closer "You Are Loved" play nearer to her strengths. --Roy Kasten Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsWow! M. Montgomery | 11/13/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Lori McKenna is one of the best singer songwriters in the buisness. This CD is a far step from the debut CD, which is saying something, seeing as how the debut was amazing.Can't wait for the third album!Keep up the great work Lori!adam" Love Her!!! Bob Becker | New Jersey | 12/04/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Listen guys, This woman to me is very very good. And only two cd's out?? Where are all the music lovers out there? I don't know if she is even out in alot of cd stores. I love her!! Maybe sort of an Alanis M but laid back and folkish. I would recommend BOTH of her cd's. Actually maybe a better voice than Alanis. Sit back and relax and listen if you like good folk music. She may be my favorite female artist in the singer-songwwiter,folk-rock,indie music,and I have a good varied collection of them." Exceptional Record M. Montgomery | Southcentral KS | 03/25/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I heard of Lori on a NPR Morning Edition segment profiling unknown but exceptional performers. It took me a while to find a copy of the CD, but the wait was well worth it. Her lyrics are very moving, and she has interesting thoughts and stories to share. Pink Sweater stands out on this album, as a song about the dragging death of a southern black man several years ago. Other songs are more contemplative. Have listened to it numerous times on my daily commute, and I keep discovering new things in the CD that I enjoy."
