Music Review: Mirrors Our Moment In History
Rating: 5 Stars

4.5 Stars

I'm no big-time Dixie Chicks fan, but this CD is moving me in that direction. It's an excellent collection of songs and it is very timely. I'm no dove, but I'm concerned about the coming war in Iraq and many of these tunes talk clearly to my worries. There's a big variety of music, stylisitically, from the country-rock of "Long Time Gone" to the bluesy folk of "Travelin' Soldier". My personal favorite is "I Beleive In Love". It's words just ring loud in my ears, poised as we are on the verge of delivering many tons of hate on the other side of the planet.

I don't really care what was said about Bush being from Texas - I believe in free speech. But it will probably hurt the group's popularity and CD sales. The DVD included in this version is a mixed bag, but is entertaining. The scenery, wardrobe and makeup used in "Landslide" struck me as a bit bizarre, but "Earl" alone makes the purchase of the special edition worthwhile.

Overall, the playing and singing are excellent. This is a very talented band. The recording quality is very good, but some of the vocals are overly sibilant. This is the main quality that kept me from giving that last 1/2 star. That and the fact that "White Trash Wedding" got old pretty quick.
