Great Record
, March 27, 2002Reviewer: home_brewer - See all home_brewer's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Yelling at Mary review helpful I ordered the CD after seeing the video for I'd be lying on VH1. I never expected such a great record. Every track is good. This is one of my favorites. If I had to cut my collection down to 15 CD's this would be one of them. Buy it if you can find it. -

Pro Reviews: Yelling at Mary
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Mary Karlzen's voice is an acquired taste. It's thin and girlish, and the singer/songwriter often sounds shrill. But her voice has a way of growing on youthe more one listens to Yelling at Mary, the more one realizes that she does have a certain charm. Karlzen wrote most of the songs on this CD, which favors an earthy and rootsy approach to poprock, americana and folkrock. Karlzen's voice might be overly cutesy at times, but her lyrics show her to be a substantial storyteller. The evocative "St. James Hotel" vividly paints a picture of the Old West and an American town near the Mexican border, while "Dimestore Life" finds a smalltown teenager longing to travel and see more of the worldonly to end up going back home at 31 with a newfound appreciation of the town she once found boring. Like Bruce Springsteen, Karlzen has a knack for embracing songs that equate traveling or hitting the road with improving your life"Anywhere Is Better Than Here" and "Another Town, Another Place" find her trying to cope with heartbreak by leaving town. This isn't to say that Karlzen is in a class with Springsteen, only that she uses his influence to her advantage. Not magnificent but certainly enjoyable, Yelling at Mary is worth acquiring if you're a fan of americana and roots rock. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide |
