Free Music Notes for Fortuneteller's Melody
Free Music Review: Great performance, so-so sound quality
Hit: 3 Stars
While the performances on this disc are highly enjoyable, especially the exquisite harmonizing between the sisters, they are let down by the questionable choices made in the recording. Like so many modern rock CDs, all the instruments and voices are pumped up to maximum levels then heavily compressed, leading to a flat soundstage that doesn't ever 'breathe.' Every note is right on the edge of tape saturation.
It probably sounds fine on radio/Ipod/YouTube etc., but on a high-quality stereo the results are a bit disappointing. The sound becomes brittle and fatiguing over time. The band certainly isn't at fault; it's the choices made by the producer/engineers that seem to be regrettable here.
This sound may work for some types of heavy rock, but it's inappropriate for music that should be allowed to organically breathe like female voice and a good deal of acoustic instrumentation.
In summary, I LOVED and was extremely moved by the performances and songwriting, but was let down by the sound quality.
Fortuneteller's Melody Poster
The sister trio SHeDAISY arrived in the late '90s riding the huge wave of Shania, Faith, and Dixie Chicks country-pop, and made a splash or two before seeming to sink out of sight. They buoyed with 2004's Sweet Right Here, which climbed to #2 on the Billboard chart, but never regained the buzz they generated with their 1999 debut, The Whole SHeBANG. Now, on their fourth effort, they've pulled out all the stops to rejuvenate their career--Kristyn Osborn, their chief songwriter, cowriting two tunes with Sheryl Crow ("Whatever It Takes," "Healing Side") and another with Don Schlitz ("In Terms of Love"). In following the dissolution of a relationship, a theme that works throughout, the sisters craft a resonant album that should ring truthfully with their primarily female fan base. They bolster it with all the trendy radio-friendly production touches (e.g., driving banjo beneath a pop arrangement, à la Keith Urban), and sell it with their usual seamless and creative vocal blend. The latter is the only thing that saves the album's most disappointing cut, "God Bless the American Housewife," an indescribably awful piece of shameless pandering, even if the lyrics are meant to be tongue-in-cheek. It's to their credit that they didn't write it, but to actually record it speaks far more poorly of them than any reviewer ever could. Other than that, this comeback effort (replete with a bold and sensitive "mistress" ballad, "She Gets What I Deserve") goes the distance to keep SHeDAISY blooming. --Alanna NashCountry Music CDs
