Review:
A fine album
This is a good album from a very fine artist. Kris Delmhorst, as well as being an excellent
songwriter, has a lovely, individual delivery.
It's less evident in The Wild than in some of her previous albums, but
she has a way of sometimes hitting a note from below and sliding onto it which
is extremely effective and evocative.
Combined with good material and excellent production, this makes the
album a bit of quiet class, I think.
For me, it tails off a bit with the two closing tracks, but it's still a
fine piece of work and warmly recommended.
(I would also strongly recommend Delmhorst's Strange
Conversation from 2006, which I think is an absolutely superb album and one of
my all-time favourites.)
