One of the challenges of keeping a blog like this going for over two
hundred installments is avoiding my tendency to reuse the same
material. Not the music; the little bits of business I throw in there
to keep this from being just a laundry list of album titles. Of
course, I'm assuming that you prefer it this way. And you know what
they say about when you assume...
I mention the preceding because I felt a rant about the iTMS's
categorization coming on. Or maybe about my feelings about country
music. But I have a feeling that Real Woman got placed under
Country by mistake. It really
belongs in
Folk; both Ms. Pompea's voice and
her material clearly fit that tradition. Except on
the
title track, which to my ear is more
Jazz. In any event, if you prefer
clear, pure solo vocals and a leisurely pace to your music, you might
find something to like here, whatever bucket you'd use to describe
it.
