- If I sing less than usual of my sisters, it is for the slighting of them...
I just finished listening to Beth Orton's "Comfort of Strangers," which various reviewers are making much of for its straightforward delivery, folky lyrics, and "old-fashioned" studio/mixing. This inspired me to write a review of "Cindy Kallet 2," because...

I shoulda listened to this wonderful album again, instead!

Cindy's voice is unblemished, and her delivery is straightforward. (Maybe it's an alto thing.) The studio recording is of high quality. The guitar playing (acoustic) is her own, and is very clean. Her modern lyrics are interesting, and her historically-inspired (seafaring) lyrics don't require you to put on your SCA garb to enjoy. I just love it! It's nice to have music that inspires you to sing backing vocals in the car, or a song you could actually whistle while taking a walk.

OK, this review is supposed to be helpful to people who haven't heard ... Read More

- NO 'SOPHOMORE SLUMP' HERE, THANKYOUVERYMUCH
Cindy Kallet's second album (originally released in 1983) should have allayed any fears those listeners unfamiliar with her work might have had that she was a 'one-record wonder'. The songs on this album are every bit as imaginative, artful and accessible as those on her wonderful first recording, WORKING ON WINGS TO FLY. Not only that, but, over the years, those who had been blessed to know her work have come to know album after album of fine songwriting from this talented artist -- her releases are a bit far apart to suit me, but they certainly make up quantity with quality.

The songs here -- like most of her recordings -- deal with personal as well as universal issues. All of the tracks are originals, with the exception of 'Marblehead Neck' (by Steven Green) -- and Cindy, with the able help of long-time and worth co-conspirators Ellen Epstein and Michael Cicone, make it sound like it comes straight out ...

- Simply the best guitarist/singer in the world
This tape is divine, including the lyrics, the instrumentation and the vocals. Cindy is simply the best. And this is the least of her albums! Try finding "Working on Wings to Fly" and "Dreaming Down a Quiet Line". It would be nice if Amazon carried them ... maybe someday soon?

Cindy is part of a collection of fabulous folsingers on the Folk Legacy title, which includes Gordon Bok and Bill Staines. They are wonderful too, but are more old-time. I find it diffciult to even conjure up anything similar to her, but perhaps Richard Thompson comes to mind (alhough, where Richard is mostly somber and depressing, Cindy is spirited and wistful.)

The world is most unfortunate that music is not her full time profession (she is a soccer mom in Maine!).

Buy it, you will NOT regret it.
