Music reviews of Roses

Music Review: New, yet familiar. A delightful CD to listen to!
Rating: 5 Stars

ROSES is a delightful CD to listen to.

Several of the songs on this CD make one pause, to look in the
mirror at one's own life. "Ashes in the Wind" (written by her
husband Jon Vezner) is a touching song about change, loss and the love which survives.
This song perfectly captures that moment of change and loss --
"Yet my life passed before me, in that passing glance /
And I knew I'd never be the same again" .
"Ashes in the Wind" serves as a reminder of just how precious life is.

The introspective song, "That's All the Lumber You Sent" intelligently reminds
us that what is "due to us" is directly related to what effort we
put forward.

The songs "Guns of Love" and "Junkyard" fit so very well with
the signs of our time. From "Guns of Love", we learn (or remember)
that "fighting fire with fire" may make us
feel better at first, but that policy is not the real answer.
In our age of information overload, that now almost anything goes
on television, movies and the internet, the reflective song, "Junkyard" effectively reminds
us that some very important things should remain safe and sacred away
from all the "gunk" in the world.

Also, thoroughly enjoyable is the song "I'm Alright" and the instrumental "Isle of Inishmore, Part 2."
"I'm Alright" celebrates the feeling of surviving the bumps and bruises we encounter -- despite being down at times, we can
still cherish being okay after all. While listening to "Isle of Inishmore", one can't
help but want to get up and dance to this lively jig.

ROSES may well be Kathy Mattea's most reflective CD yet. I give it an
A++.

In ROSES, Kathy comfortly reminds us, in a sincere and insightful way, that it is still
okay and pertinent to strive to be the better person we can be.

The wonderful journey continues!
