JONATHA BROOKE: 10¢ Wings (Refuge / MCA) |
"Crumbs" is a perfect example. The first time I heard this song on the radio, it caught my ear because the chords just didn't sound right. Now that I've had a chance to hear the song several times, it's definitely one of the many highlights here. Same with tracks like "Glass Half Empty" (dedicated to Brooke's friend, Kevin Gilbert, who died unexpectedly in 1996) and "Genius or a Fool." Other standout tracks include "Last Innocent Year" and "Secrets and Lies." 10¢ Wings is a captivating new CD that is sure to appeal to fans, as well as those who haven't yet heard of her. If you like artists like Sarah McLachlan, recent Emmylou Harris, or any of the other musicians who appeared on last summer's highly successful Lilith Fair tour, you'll probably enjoy this disc. |
