Free Music Notes for Bloom, Red & the Ordinary Girl

Free Music Review: Talented Ensemble Bats .500
Hit: 4 Stars

Their 1st CD is better, I rate only 6/12 songs on this one as keepers. For you MP3 downloaders, my list is: Drop Me Down, Shade Trees in Bloom, Sway, Only Broken, 400 Flamingos, and Slip So Easily. However, Tres Chicas is a very talented group that I'd like to hear more from. I found this group in kind of an interesting way. See my review of "Sweetwater".

Bloom, Red & the Ordinary Girl Poster

For their second album, alt-country veterans Caitlin Cary, Lynn Blakey, and Tonya Lamm turned from North Carolina to England to join producers Neil Brockbank and Robert Trehern (who have worked with Nick Lowe and Van Morrison), as well as a clutch of guests including Lowe, Bill Kirchen, and Geraint Watkins, whose classy piano carries their melodies. Neo-gospel opener "Drop Me Down," a Lou Ford cover, establishes a theme of spiritual and personal renewal, which unfolds through the album's serene, lightly-stringed sound. The singers take advantage of the space to build some of the most lush, intricate female harmonies since Emmylou, Dolly, and Linda formed Trio. Tempo can be a problem, however, turning languid and bleary midway through the album, with only "The Man of the People" (a jab at phony populism) and "If You Think That It's All Right" (a jazzy two-step take on an obscure Johnny Carver song) picking up the pace. All three singers contribute original tunes, and all three tend to strain after poetic effect. Love is compared to 400 flamingos preening in the water, while a broken heart bleeds red as a red barn. And while the album may not contain the Chicas' strongest songs, it expertly expands their sound via shades of soul and British folk-rock into temperate country-pop atmospheres. --Roy Kasten
