Review:
A good album
I like this album. I
took a bit of a punt on it after hearing a snippet of Nikki Talley's music, and
it turns out to be a good collection of well crafted and well performed songs.
The material is fairly varied from the country-tinged Americana
sound of tracks like Mockingbird and the opener, Rainy Day to the much more
traditional, rootsy ballad feel of Railroad Boy or Gracie Blue. They aren't songs to set the world alight –
there are very few of those – but these are very tuneful, listenable
tracks. Nikki Talley has a good voice
and she and her small band play very well.
I like the generally restrained arrangements and production which allows
the music to speak for itself without an overlay of corporate gloss.
If you like Americana
and a well made album, I recommend that you give this a try. Nikki Talley is well worth a listen, and I
can recommend this album.
