Free Music Review: Dar, Dar, Dar!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have loved Dar from the beginning and this album is no exception. While it might have less of the humor that you will find in Honesty Room or Mortal City you will find hauntingly beautiful lyrics and honesty that is rarely found elsewhere. Like all people Dar is on an inward journey and it's easy to track it through her albums. This one is a favorite of mine from the uplifting "Playing to the Firmament" to the poignant "After All" while still capturing that endless spirit she exudes in "Another Mystery" and "I won't be your Yoko Ono". If you ever have the chance, she is amazing live!
The Green World Poster
The Green World is the Dar Williams of the 21st Century collecting the musical, inspirational and emotional elements she developed over the last three albums and taking them all one great musical step further. The songs on The Green World shine. Recorded in Woodstock and in New York City, Dar has added a new dimension to her work by using producer Stewart Lerman and a host of ace studio musicians. Their dramatic arrangements showcase not only her appealingly complex lyrics but also her growing musical and vocal maturity. Dar has added a new dimension to her recorded work.24 bit / 96 kHz DVD-Audio, 24 bit / 48 kHz Dolby Digital 5.1, and stereo options

Like many of her contemporaries, folk-rocker Dar Williams seems weary of her road-tested, pared-down, fan-pleasing musical formula. Her last outing, 1997's End of the Summer, gave hints of her interest in a more instrumentally rich, highly produced, pop-leaning sound, but still maintained an earthy folk sensibility. On 2000's The Green World, Williams's guileless humor and stripped acoustic sound are replaced by shimmering electric guitars, heavy reverb, compact lyrics, and complex, layered percussion. Her steadfast fans may cry "sellout" initially, but by the third listen, they'll begin to sympathize. Yes, this new, polished sound seems to hang heavy on tracks such as "Calling the Moon," where an invasive Hammond organ and overbearing guitar nearly drown out the reedy plea of Williams's heartbreaking voice. And "After All," a wrenchingly introspective rumination, begs to be left in subtle simplicity. But songs like the mild-yet-infectious jaunt "Another Mystery," the passionately insistent lament "And a God Descended," and the gentle rock reverie "Playing to the Firmament" bear their lavish arrangements with grace and pride. --Sally Weinbach
