A triumph from Catie Curtis and her army of talentCatie blew me away with this one and producer Trina Shoemaker (known best for her work with Sheryl Crow) left her signature as well. DIRL is well written and the perfomances are a force of nature. This album really demonstrates Catie's range of talent, with equal success in both the folk and pop tracks on this album. I highly recommend it.
I also recommend that listeners find out about a documentary produced during the recording of this album. The film, "Tangled Stories", is due out later this year: www.tangledstories.comGrownUpMusic.com Recommended!Catie Curtis has one of those effortless-sounding voices that are so warm and conversational, like the sunny tomboy from next door with the winsome smile who never went anywhere without her guitar. On this release, her best since her debut CD "Truth From Lies," Catie covers a lot of familiar terroritory (love 'n stuff), but with a slightly-more-rockin' Sheryl Crow kind of edge. It works for her. Think Indigo Girls without all that pesky anger. honestThis is my first exposure to Catie Curtis. I very much like her straightforward honest songwriting and overall style. There isn't much pretension here which is refreshing. My favorite tracks are "Hold On", "It's The Way You Are" and "Cross Over To Me" which features some brilliant electric guitar. There are some weak tracks as well particularly "The Night" and "Dark Weather". All things considered, this album is not likely to change anyone's life but has definitely made me want to explore this artist more. |
