Comments:

A most odd record and I mean that positively. Rearick plays individual music, and she sounds mostly like herself. One minute she hammers at the piano and the next she delicately plays it. She gives Leonard Cohen's "Democracy" a dark reading and also covers Beatles originally. She's clearly an artist with her own vision. She has a great voice and her piano skills are impressive. This album deals with democracy and the lack thereof wonderfully. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
