She Was Not Afraid

driftways

One of the best recordings ever. These songs are deeper and more powerful than those on their first album, more fully realized. Neither Kate nor Anna is afraid to live and confront the issues of love and family that growing older brings. Although many reviewers would disagree with me, this is a better album than their first release. The themes and issues that course through this music make it a standout. Both Anna & Kate are extraordinary songwriters, and are at the top of their game here. If you only want one download of Kate and Anna, let this be the one.

They Say All Music Guide

With Matapedia, Kate & Anna McGarrigle return to their strengths by trimming back the synthesizers and sticking with direct, folky testaments. Occasionally, they augment their songs with worldbeat flourishes, but mainly the album sticks to folky introspection. While their skills have diminished slightly since their stellar debut, they remain evocative, challenging, fresh, and inspirational. – Thom Owens
