CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com The tumbling drums, staccato guitar fuzz, and hypnotic marimba of opener "I'm the Moon" make clear that Lynn Miles isn't about to be satisfied with decorous acoustic conventions or rote Americana. Her fourth album shifts gracefully across summery guitar pop, stately piano ballads, and creaky banjo dirges while remaining grounded in songs that, though suffused with disillusion and loss, always reveal "the pull of the human heart." With her lightly scratched, winsome voice, Miles can make you believe that Dorothy is more than a Hollywood cutout, that a dead-end town can still yield poetry, and that "sad songs matter most." Unravel may be Miles's most aggrieved, melancholy work; it's also her most daring and beautiful. --Roy Kasten Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWhy isn't this woman a star???? Michael J Edelman | Huntington Woods, MI USA | 12/09/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first saw Lynn back in '96, I think, in a music series a friend was promoting. We were all absolutely knocked out by her brilliant, dark lyrics, beautiful voice and her marvelous self-deprecating sense of humor. We chatted at an after concert party (where she put a "Canadian curse" on me ;-) and I found her to be just as charming off stage as she is on. I saw Lynn again just the other night (with the exceptional Keith Glass accompanying), and I have to say her songs and her voice just keep getting better. I cannot understand why she's not one of the biggest selling singer-songwriters today. If you can, do try to catch Lynn in person, but if you can't this album (and her other albums) are the next best thing. You'll be converted." Her best CD Michael J Edelman | 07/14/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you are familiar with Ms Miles' work, you will love this CD. If you are a first time listener, this is the one to buy. The music and the lyrics are sad, wistful, longing, hopeful and yet so subtle. The music hits you like a gentle breeze, but the lyrics live in your mind like a forceful wind. I LOVE THIS CD. Track 8..."those who love moonlight across a bed/who question every word thats said" This song is for me, it is for you, it is truly a great great song. Lynn Miles should be one of the most popular song writer/singers out there, but I don't believe she cares about popularity. She just sings her heart out. I thank her for this collection of songs. Simply lovely." STILL ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Queezed | Just Down the Road, AR USA | 02/16/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's been over a year since the last review, and I've never been moved to write one, but this CD gets more beautiful as it ages. If anyone stumbles across these reviews, just know that Lynn is as good as the best country, folk, country-western, or bluegrass singer/songwriter/performer today. I have never recommended a CD more often or had as many heartfelt thanks for a suggestion. Give the CD a listen, and then spread the joy of your discovery; such beautiful creations deserve greater recognition and the financial rewards that accompany such success."
