"What can I say except this CD by Lynn Miles will just complete your collection, so buy it, even if finding it is a little difficult. It is worth the effort. If you don't have a Lynn Miles CD, I suggest starting with "Unravel", then "Slightly Haunted", and then this, her most recent. These are my favorites of the 5 CD's which she has out now. (I find Amazon does not list her CD "Chalk One Up to the Moon", but it is out there, and it is also worth the effort to find it.)

With this new CD, once again, Lynn's music and lyrics will take you to that place only she can take you. I just love, love, love her voice, her music, everything. The songs "1000 Lovers" and "Trying Not to be So Sad" are vintage Miles, but it is hard for me to pick one track over any of the others, cause all the songs are so good."

Smile, Lynn, Smile

"The poetess of sadness and North Country chill is back with an album of new songs-her first in four years since the magnificent UNRAVEL. Although not quite up to that high standard (nor that of her equally wonderful second cd, SLIGHTLY HAUNTED), there's lots to love on this new release. In fact, the title cut and a number of others are about the edges of love, the wishes for it, and the walls which keep it out or keep it in. Lynn's way with a melody is as engaging as ever, her almost talking and then singing approach as direct and personal as it ever was, her wistfulness and wishfulness and sadness as palpable as always.



A THOUSAND LOVERS COULD PUT THEIR ARMS AROUND ME

A THOUSAND WISHES COULD FALL LIKE SUMMER RAIN

A THOUSAND MOTHERS COULD SING

"HUSH NOW, DON'T YOU CRY"

THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD TONIGHT THAT IS GOING TO

TAKE AWAY MY PAIN.



But joy breaks through sometimes or will soon-particularly in "This is the Night" and "Sweet and Tender Heart." You wish that for Lynn. You want the down-turned sides of her sensitive mouth to lift. This beautiful Canadian has done it again. Lovely."
