Free Music Review: A Long Way from Whitefish
Hit: 5 Stars
Mary Lee's Corvette's "700 Miles" is a consistently strong set of tunes, well played & well written. As a vocalist, Mary Lee Kortes delivers a powerful punch, as affecting as Emmylou Harris or Shelby Lynn. A long way from her hometown of Whitefish, Montana, her producer husband Eric Ambel does a nice job of bringing out the best in her work. (Eric is also an excellent recording artist in his own right!) Two of the tracks here are my very favorites. "Out From Under It" drives an hypnotic groove with a pretty melody, chiming guitar and Mary's sterling vocals, "It was a crazy dream, all full of haze & steam; Now I let it go, the clouds have turned to snow." "More Stupider" is an utter delight with cowbell percussion and Mary Lee's vocal growl, "Even though I speak 3 languages, I still can't imitate all that baby talk trickling into your ear like that little baby doll you date." The other tracks are also consistently strong such as the original rocking "Herculetta." The set closes with a slow Townes Van Zandt version of "No Place to Fall" that shows Mary's powerful vocal ability. This set is excellent. Bravo!
700 Miles Poster
Mary Lee Kortes never takes the easy way out. On her last album, the Montana native wrestled with the audacious task of recreating Bob Dylan's 1975 classic Blood on the Tracks. Kortes recorded the basic tracks for 700 Miles in her Manhattan apartment, which gives the album a pristine, personal feel. Indeed, the lyrics of the title track come from an entry from her grandmother's travel diary. That song forms the locus of the album as Kortes embarks on a metaphoric journey for Kortes, who describes finding her true voice and path after abandoning an early ambition to become a book editor. But that voice is anything but one-dimensional. The singer effortlessly skips from an earnest and injured on the starkly beautiful "Nothing" to a sultry on "More Stupider," as she debates the worth of playing dumb to attract men. The outcome is obvious, since Kortes' greatest strength is brainy, poetic lyrics that can be as chilling as Emily Dickinson or as inflamed as Pablo Neruda. Kortes has certainly traveled far and has emerged as a true original with a bold, daring spirit. --Jaan UhelszkiPop Music CDs
