Music reviews of Promised Land
Music Review: Classic Dar and a bit more
Rating: 4 Stars
Once again Dar shows her intelligence, her wit and her story-telling genius in 12 beautifully crafted songs, with a few surprises too. My favourite moment is hearing Suzanne Vega's voice blend so beautifully with Dar's on Go To The Woods. Like with Ani Di Franco in Dar's previous release, Dar shows her mastery at collaborations too.
Some of the songs appear at first to be weaker than you expect from Dar, but listen again and you notice the subtle arrangements and you understand the story and it then all makes perfect sense. Pay close attention to The Business of Things and Midnight Radio and you will be rewarded.
There are some classics too that immediately grab your attention, such as It's Alright, The Easy Way, Buzzer and Troubled Times.
My favourite lyric on the album - "Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins" from Troubled Times.
Description of Promised Land
One of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of her generation, Dar Williams has been engaging audiences with her musical artistry since the early 1990s when she rose from the Northeast coffeehouse circuit to the national spotlight. Dar releases her first studio in 2008 after three years, Promised Land. Produced by Brad Wood (Pete Yorn, Liz Phair, Smashing Pumpkins), the album features 12 reflective songs that introduce a new Pop sound for Dar Williams. Lending support on the album are such renowned artists as Suzanne Vega and Marshall Crenshaw. Promised Land is sure to connect with Dar fans old and new. 'Williams infuses intelligent songwriting with comforting melodies.' - Relix. 'A new generation of pop-folk enthusiasts lauds her as one of the genre's central figures.'- PasteGeneral CDs
