Like my darling Joni Mitchell, here's another multi-talented Canadian singer/composer/guitarist/pianist who has her own style. If you like her music or aren't familiar with it, this new CD is for you. All her well-known songs are here as well as others that are just as good, including two new ones. Mellow might be a good way to describe her songs but in a good way.. McLachlan's vocal delivery moves from breathy to high trills with equal panache. She's never overpowering but takes command as she sways you along with her words & music.
There's a deluxe 2 CD edition with more songs but this one is fine. It's a good companion to her live Mirrorball CD that includes her hits and others not on this one. She's overdue for a new CD so let's hope the critical and commercial reaction to Closer will be the needed stimulus.
