Review:
Good, not great
This is an album of covers by two very fine but underrated artists.
Lucy Kaplansky and Richard Shindell are excellent musicians and they
create a lovely sound together, well balance between the two of them
and with some fabulous harmonies and the instrumental excellence you
would expect from both. The band are very good, too, as is the
production and there are some fine tracks – notably for me, Making
Plans. Overall, though, this is a good album rather than a great
one. I’m not sure why – possibly it’s the choice of material,
but whatever the reason, this doesn’t quite stand out as albums
like Careless or Over The Hills do. It’s still well worth getting,
but I don’t think it’s among the best work of either Lucy or
Richard.
