Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry, Rating=$$$$$
[ Support the Artist ]
How I Got This CD: Even though I've got a moratorium on buying CDs, a few songs from this golden little number started showing up on some of the MP3 blogs on my FList. The few selections I heard from it told me that I just had to have this puppy, so I booked it over to Half.com and got it cheap.
Cry, Cry, Cry is what passes for a "supergroup" for the folkie/indie singer-songwriter set and represents a one-time-only collaboration between Dar Williams, Lucy Kaplansky, and Richard Shindell.
The self-titled CD is a collection of covers and there's not really a clunker in the bunch, although there are some songs I like less than others. It's a moody CD that's perfect to listen to on a rainy day, although not very good to listen to while working because you find yourself stopping to really listen to the songs, even if you've heard them 1,000 times before. The linear notes are a little on the self-important side, though. Guys, we know you're good. But when you start using "redemptive" in reference to yourselves? I just dunno.
In either case, a fantastic set of songs and covers that's sure to bring a tear to your eye.
Sample Tracks: Fall on Me, Cold Missouri Waters, Shades Of Gray, By Way Of Sorrow
