Free Music Review: Carole's quietest album
Hit: 5 Stars
Rhymes and Reasons contains the kind of music that most listeners associate with the singer-songwriter-fluid, piano driven, and melodic. One critic stated that this collection reflects the quiet life she found with Charlie Larkey, and musically I would agree that this is her most calm and calming album. Almost each song centers on Carole's use of layering multiple piano tracks (the piano work on this album is a bit more ornate and better recorded than on Tapestry), a solid bass line, and her voice. Lyrically, most of the songs have an intimate feel similiar to "So Far Away, but Carole addresses more issues such as racism and religion here than she does on Tapestry or Music. Examples such as "Peace in the Valley," "Ferguson Road," and "Been to Canaan" are among the best in Carole's discography. This album rates as one of the greats from the early seventies or any decade because of its intimacy, the piano work, Carole's incredible songwriting skills. One last note-if you're an audiophile, the Japanese pressing are superior. Sony has just released Writer in a digipak; let's pray they do the same for all of Carole's Ode albums.
