Music reviews of Angels & Electricity
Music Review: So glad I bought this...a new artist to add to my favorites
Rating: 4 Stars
I bought this CD to get Bell Book and Candle after hearing it on the televison show Charmed. Boy, was I surprised at what a good CD it truly is. I had never heard of Eddi Reader until I heard the song- I did not know what I was missing. Her voice is beautiful and the lyrics to the songs on this CD are so emotional they will tug at your heart. In addition to Bell Book and Candle other favorites of mine are Kiteflyer's Hill, Prayer Wheel and Postcard. To be honest, I don't think there is a bad song on the album. I would recommend everyone to give this artist a try. I will certainly be buying more of her music.
Description of Angels & Electricity
Encompassing everything from understated acoustic ballads to jangly, guitar-driven pop, Eddi Reader's folk-rock hybrid rarely plays it straight. Picking up where she left off with 1997's Candyfloss and Medicine, Reader remains true to her own unique and enjoyable muse. Of course, it doesn't hurt that her always-amazing voice is in top form. "Prayer Wheel," with its exuberant chorus, masks a story of lost love behind a veneer of unadulterated pop. As usual, Reader draws on a number of songwriters to compile a topnotch collection of songs (including one, "On a Whim," written for her by Ron Sexsmith). But the best songs here are the ones written by or with longtime musical partner Boo Hewerdine: "Bell, Book and Candle" is a gorgeous, haunting tale of lost love, while "California" has a truly greasy groove to go with Reader's equally sexy vocals. Besides, it's always endearing to hear a Glasgow gal work her way around the word "California." --Percy KeeganGeneral CDs
