Nice restrained production.
If you're not familiar with Miss Kelly, then don't make the mistake of downloading this and leaving it on your computer. From her opening intake of breath on "Dusty Groove," this album deserves to be played on a decent stereo; in fact, Miss Kelly and her backing musicians are so determinedly subtle it all but demands it. What's striking is how this touches on all the different genres she adores, yet with fresh material, from the country gothic of "Ways of This World" to the gorgeous harmonies of "Slumber's Sympathy," which could have been written specifically with her side project the Flat Five in mind. To my mind, however, the singles here are the uptempo "Haunted" and "Sleeper Awake." Play either one more than once, and you won't be able to stop.
This is more than worth the wait, Kelly has outdone herself! Great tunes, great performances, full of gut rendering potential. This is one to savor....
