User Reviews: Roses
Dozen Roses
This is a wonderful collection of tunes - all with a bit of an "aha moment" to them. Rich, lush, fanciful, and at the same time, pared to the bone with honest instrumentation that let Kathy's "furry alto" voice shine.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoAwesome CD
This is an amazing CD. What a collection of songs. Kathy Mattea seems to just get better with each new recording.
"Thats All The Lumber".."Ashes in the Wind"..
"They Are The Roses".."I'm Alright" are real standouts. But not a bad song in the bunch.
Trust me....BUY THIS CD!!!!Was this review helpful? Yes - NoNew, yet familiar. A delightful CD!
Kathy Mattea's career has been a musical journey.
Her recent CD, ROSES is a continuation of that journey.
ROSES is her first CD for her new recording label, Narada.
On the CD, Kathy Mattea has matured past the confines of country music.
In that sense, the CD may be different from her ones in the past.
Yet, what you will find familiar is that, like her many earlier
CDs, the songs on ROSES are introspective, reflective and honest.
ROSES is a delightful CD to listen to.
Several of the songs on this CD make one pause, to look in the
mirror at one's own life. "Ashes in the Wind" (written by her
husband Jon Vezner) is a touching song about change, loss and
love which survives. This song perfectly captures that moment of change and loss --
"Yet my life passed before me, in that passing glance /
And I knew I'd never be the same again" .
"Ashes in the Wind" serves as a reminder of just how precious life is.
The introspective song, "That's All the Lumber You Sent" intelligently reminds
us that what is "due to us" is directly related to what effort we
put forward.
The songs "Guns of Love" and "Junkyard" fit so very well with
the signs of our time. From "Guns of Love", we learn (or remember)
that an "eye for an eye" or "fighting fire with fire" may make us
feel better at first, but that policy is not the real answer.
In our age of information overload, that now almost anything goes
on television, movies and the internet, the reflective song, "Junkyard" effectively reminds
us that some very important things should remain safe and sacred away
from all the "guck" in the world.
Also, thoroughly enjoyable are the songs "I'm Alright" and the jig version of
"Isle of Inishmore." "I'm Alright" celebrates the feeling of surviving
the bumps and bruises we encounter -- despite being down at times, we can
still enjoy being okay after all. While listening to "Isle of Inishmore", one can't
help but want to get up and dance to this lively jig.
ROSES may well be Kathy Mattea's most reflective CD yet. I give it an
A++.
In ROSES, Kathy comfortly reminds us, in a sincere and insightful way, that it is still
okay and pertinent to strive to be the better people we can be.
The wonderful journey continues!Was this review helpful? Yes - No
