Driving North ReviewIf you're a fan of singer/songwriters along the lines of Patty Griffin, Cheryl Wheeler, Lucinda Williams and Elyza Gilkyson, then there's a fairly good chance that you will rejoice in the music of Chris Pureka. This New England-based folkie combines lyrical songwriting ability with an emotionally expressive (and thoroughly husky) voice, drawing you in with her simple homespun songs about heartache, happiness and the change of the seasons. Drenching the songs in the imagery of her surroundings, Pureka creates a soundtrack for East Coast travels, evoking some to compare "Driving North" to Bruce Springsteen's early '80s masterpiece "Nebraska." On gorgeous ballads like "Unwelcome" and "3 a.m.," she nails matters of the heart, while on driving, insistent tunes like the haunting "Silo Song" and "Reprieve," she does the same with a ferocity that will instantly capture your attention. Listen to any of those tunes (not to mention "Burning Bridges" or the urgently soulful "Porch Songs") and try not to instantly fall in love with Pureka's music. In fact, I dare you.Driving North Overview

Beauty Queen Sister ReviewIt's been a long time since I heard the Indigo Girls like this. I remember the first time I experienced "Blood and FIre" and "Strange Fire", and fell in love with IG, and experienced the folk genre. I've stuck with them through thick and thin since then, even with the broken promises of "Shaming of the Sun" and "Come on Now Social", both of which had good moments but have never been my favorites. I've loved them in "All that We Let In" (magnificent, underrated) and "Become You". It all comes down to those voices--Amy Ray and Emily have a pipeline to my heart, they unleash my love and longing when I hear them. I give myself completely to their care in this album, and I am so happy to be enveloped in the beautiful songwriting and deep harmonic wonder of their combined talents. Stylistically, this is another leap forwards for them, a sampling and an homage to all the disparate parts that make up their brand of modern folk, but under their sure guidance, it sounds unified and wonderful. The guitar picking is classic IG, the melodic lines are fresh but so familiar--like a song you have never heard before but which sounds so familiar, like a bit of home. Production is fairly typical for the IG--it would not be accused of being stripped down, but it is warm and well thought out. Amy Ray has left behind some of her angry roughness but kept some of deep raspy-ness that makes her so unique. Emily is as sweet and shy as ever, touching more of the painful emotions that make me love them so much, but as always it is the intersection of their voices, when the two of them sing together, blending beautifully, achingly that makes me love them. Ultimately, few groups have inhabited so much time in my cassette player, my cd player, my ipod, and my heart as these two, and I can only hope that they will continue producing music as honest and beautiful as this.Beauty Queen Sister Overview
