CD ReviewsHip, yet sweet and sincere - a new holiday classic Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 11/06/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Wow... what a nice album. Pop-folkster Mindy Smith really outdoes herself on this one. It's heartfelt, engaging, original and quite lovely to listen to... She sings a few standards, performing them with unusually rich sincerity -- her lingering, lounge-y rendition of Frank Loesser's "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" is a gem, and she croons religious tunes like "Follow The Shepard Home" like she really means it. It's Smith's original material that stands out here, though: the opening song, "My Holiday," is a gentle meditation on the season; "Santa Will Find You" is an inspirational anthem in five-and-dime drag, and "I Know The Reason" is simply a beautiful song about perseverance and quiet hope, closing with the stanza, "It's been a long, long year/it's coming to an end/Looking by my side/you still have my hand", a lyric that, for some reason, really jumps out at you. This is an disc I could roast chestnuts to for several seasons to come -- and for a Grinch like me, that's pretty high praise. Check it out! (DJ Joe Sixpack/Slipcue)" It Really Is (A Wonderful Album) Adam | La Mirada, US, Canada | 11/07/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a beautiful blend of Christmas songs we know and love and new songs Mindy Smith has written. I have always loved Christmas music and the traditional songs have been my favorites for as long as I can remember, but the new songs she has given us will be a treasured part of our Christmases for years to come. With her very personal renditions of classics and the new songs, it is a welcome addition to our Christmas playlist, and it will be to yours as well." Sweet Voice(s) Makes for More Than Good Feelings Martha Bajema | Bellingham, WA | 12/12/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "If I could talk to Mindy Smith, I'd love to tell her that her music touches me like nobody else's. She's her own person, whether she's interpreting traditional favorites or speaking to us through her own simple (yet eloquent) songs. I keep buying her music because she always has me from the first listen!
There is wonderful musicianship here; American/Tennesee with a bit of young Rock. Thoughtful work; the listener can enjoy her insights and/or simply relax and absorb the music. " |
