My personal Innocence Mission highest point (there's a whole lot of high
points, for sure) remains "Wonder of Birds" and "Medjugorje" back-to-back
to close the eponymous, 1st album/CD. Sometimes I play it to hear just
those two songs. My favorite entire album is "Birds of My Neighborhood":
to my ears and heart it approaches the transcendent, practically the
definition of how less may be more.
My copy of "Now the Day is Over" arrived yesterday, and I have listened to
it once. It is quite beautiful, and Karen's voice works well on the
standards in the context of the sparse instrumentation. I found myself
thinking about Eva Cassidy's take on "Over the Rainbow" in comparison to
Karen's; both work though their voices could not be more different.
Don, as usual, puts on a clinic in how to record with delicacy and nuance.
Just lovely, so very lovely.
Jim
