Editorial Review: Album Description: In her new release, Christine Kane opens herself up to show the many different sides of her artistry, her personality and her spirit. An organic and often raw mix of tight acoustic textures and rhythms sets down a dynamic backdrop for Christine’s earthy and elegant voice, which manages to hold within its range both vulnerability and strength at the same time – much like the whole CD itself. Christine’s reverence is undeniable in several cuts on the CD. “The Way Clouds Do” describes a gritty bus ride through highway traffic while looking out on the world through the eyes of a mystic seeking change. “Times Three” reads like a biblical text and moves dramatically with the pulsing guitar work of Larry Campbell. And the powerful “The One Thing I Know” poetically and effortlessly travels back and forth between the profound and the personal. Christine’s irreverence comes out in the more humorous notes in the album. The women in her songs live by the railroad tracks, drive beat up Volkswagens and don’t go to church. The laugh-out-loud cut on the CD, “No Such Thing as Girls Like That,” starts with a comical look at an MTV video and ends with a description of an aging Barbie with sagging breasts and osteoporosis. Christine’s masterful treatment of such a well-worn subject secures her place among the finest humorist songwriters of her generation. “Rain & Mud & Wild & Green” was recorded in New York City and produced by Christine and Ben Wisch, making this Christine’s first CD recorded away from her home of Asheville, NC. One of the best producer/engineers of the acoustic genre, Ben Wisch has a diverse list of credits ranging from Marc Cohn to Kathy Mattea. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Touching and Easy on the EarsThis is my first Christine Kane album and I will be buying more. I originally heard "Roses" on a Putamayo compilation and loved it. The rest of this album did not dissapoint. It only took me one listen to discern 4 or 5 new favorites, I'm going to be giving this album as a gift to many of my friends. Rating: - Good Pick Me Up Music Without Being PerkyHaving lived in Asheville and gone to see Christine play at the Grey Eagle whenever possible, I pull out this CD whenever I need to feel GOOD. Her voice and music are amazing, and she has intelligent and mostly uplifting lyrics. Rating: - A guy likes her stuff, tooI know Christine Kane from this new album and her song "Off the Ground" which is on Putumayo's great _Women's Work_ CD. The latter is an all-time favorite song, so when my wife got me R&M&W&G for an anniversary present I was hoping for a lot. It has no tracks that are new total favorites, but somehow it's alway in one CD player or another around here. We've decided to add a star to my original four star rating. It's good at work in the studio, very good at my desk, I like it in the car, and it's been on the big stereo a time or two, too. I guess I must really like the way it all fits together. "She Don't Like Roses" is the reason for adding a star with time. It took me awhile to see how perfectly the gentle tune and musical ... Read More: Rating:  - Great StuffThis lady has real talent. I saw her tonight in concert in a small 200 seat place in Chattanooga. Christine has an easy and gentle raport with the crowd and is almost instantly likable. Then she sings, and, you are completely won over.When she wants to be funny, she is without being corny. When she wants to be serious or touching, she is able to draw the listener into her private world of emotions.Christine is a good singer and a good guitar player and an excellent song writer.This is a very good cd, but if you ever have the chance, go see her live. You will think she is singing to you. Rating: - Da Bomb, Yo!Yo, check this...I be a rapper and I peeped this disc and this lady be fly! Her lyrics be kickin' on the fo' sheezy! I'm fin to remix her cuts and make madd money off her dope skilz! |
