Album Description Laura Cantrell's 2000 debut album, Not the Tremblin' Kind, brought the Nashville-born, New York City-based performer & radio personality the type of praise for her own music that had previously been reserved for her longrunning weekly "Radio Thrift Shop" on acclaimed free-form station WFMU in Jersey City. Not the Tremblin' Kind struck a chord with critics and fans on both sides of the Atlantic, receiving glowing reviews in Rolling Stone (****), Mojo, USA Today, The Village Voice, Country Weekly and other distinguished publications. She has been the subject of a profile on NPR's "All Things Considered" and appeared as both an artist and country music critic on "World Café." When the Roses Bloom Again features top-shelf songs written by Amy Rigby ("Don't Break the Heart"), Dave Schramm ("Conquerer's Song") and Joe Flood ("All the Same to You"). These selections frame four stunning new originals, including "Too Late for Tonight" and the Appalachian epic "Mountain Fern," based on the life of '40s hillbilly singer Molly O'Day. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsCountry music as it should be MZ | Novinger, MO United States | 03/04/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "A fine piece of work by Ms. Cantrell. Her band does not distract attention from her glorious voice, nor does it need to; her voice is so solidly infectious that it can stand on its own. I found myself soothed and inspired by Laura's style and sound. Track twelve, the old Frankie Bailes waltz, is simply beautiful.It is a telling commentary on modern country music that some of the finest new voices are coming out of "nontraditional" locales. Mind you, these voices do not receive any significant airplay, but they are there for those looking and listening hard enough to find them.Toss aside your commercial, cookie-cutter discs. Pick up some Laura Cantrell and be reintroduced to great country music." No need to be a country fan -- Buy it!! Erik D. LOFQUIST | Shoreline, WA | 07/11/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "I feel hesitant to add my two cents; I am a classical fan, not country. Good singing, though, is good singing, whether it be opera, country, or anything else. This disc was given to me and I simply had to hear what such a stunningly beautiful woman as her sounded like. I was not disappointed. Her vocal style is completely free from annoying mannerisms and cheap over-emoting. Her delivery is at all times tasteful, intelligent, understated, and honest. Like all great singing artists, she lets each song speak for itself. She mixes styles quite successfully, as noted by some of the other reviewers here. The songs don't all sound alike, and there is not a loser in the bunch. Her voice is light and pure, like Emmy Lou Harris, but not as reedy as Harris. And she is always utterly feminine. This disc will appeal to anyone who appreciates honest emotions, tastefully delivered." Get both Albums Great Faulkner's Ghost | Washington, DC | 08/11/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "BBC DJ John Peel called her first album, Not Tremblin' Kind "my favorite record of the last 10 years and possibly my life." IMHO this second one is every bit as good. Intelligent, understated, nuanced singing. Though a good composer, she is almost unsurpassed as an interpreter. Her Tremulous voice reaches out and inhabits the heart and the mind. Bends the note perfectly to fit the emotion and the word. Yes, like Kitty Wells, but with a little plain-folk Mother Maybelle Carter thrown in. You need this and her first CD -- they are of a whole. This one is slightly better recorded, and is in fact HDCD encoded. If you have an HDCD player (unlikely) the effect is quite startling -- almost like she is there. (But like all HDCD encoded dics, this plays perfectly on all cd and DVD players)"
