Synopsis

Album Description

The first new release in 10 years from Anti-Folk co-founder Cindy Lee Berryhill, Beloved Stranger could be called her most political album; its foot-stomping When Did Jesus Become a Republican? certainly qualifies it as political, if not partisan CD. But there are aspects to the album which are also both personal and universal. Forty Cent Raise is about trying to support a family with a low paying job. Joining her on the song is John Doe, who makes several guest appearances on the album along with Lenny Kaye, Dave Alvin and Peter Case.

CD Reviews

New Stuff From Cindy Great to Hear!

T.R. Frentzel | San Francisco, ca United States | 11/27/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I can't even tell you how nice it felt to hear that voice again. I hadn't even noticed she'd released a new album. As soon as I saw she had, I bought it, and have subsequently been on a Cindy Lee jag-- listening to all of her work.

This is a small collection of great CLB songs. The stuff is fresh-- in Cindy style, she's definitely trying new things.

My favorite songs are "Cry Me a Jordan," "Beloved Stranger" and "Feel Like I Owe Somebody Something."

"When Did Jesus Become a Republican" takes you by surprise, but it's a great song and does a nice job of asking a question that nobody seems to be able to answer.

A very nice addition to the Cindy Lee collection, all of which are fantastic.

I sincerely hope that this is a sign of more Cindy CD's. She's vastly underrated, and so talented. I've seen her perform many times, and I know that there are so many Cindy jewels out there, I'd love to hear some of those songs again some day."
