Better with each listen, 1 Feb 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Night in a Strange Town (Audio CD)
I've had this album for awhile now, and it just keeps getting better. Every time I listen, I have a new favorite song. Lynn Miles has a wonderful gift for emotive lyricism, running the gamut from lovestruck to melancholy to bitter, and always cuts straight to the soul. "Rust", in particular, may be the most beautiful and brazenly honest love song ever written. The instrumentation is rich and varied without burying her vocals. Thae fact that this album has not received more of an audience is a shame; anyone who is a fan of modern folk/americana would do well to add this to their collection

A woman's gotta know her limitations, 14 May 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Night in a Strange Town (Audio CD)
I loved "Slightly Haunted," a wonderful album that got lost in a great year for female singer/songwriters. I wouldn't characterize it as a better album than "A Few Small Repairs," "This Fire," or "Living with Ghosts," but I have probably listened to it more. I love her voice -- warm, plangent, and somewhat edgy in a very human way, and she has a gift for catchy, memorable melodies. Miles is a performer whose weaknesses -- occasional rough bendings of her voice over the melodic turns and an apparent inability to distinguish grimace-producing cliches from real lyrical insights -- are almost as endearing as her gifts. That said, this album is less satisfying than "Slightly Haunted." Larry Klein's glitzy, high-powered production tends to call attention to Miles's missteps rather than glossing them over, and her songwriting this time out doesn't quite measure up to the quality of "SH." "This is a song about the way life is" may be the worst opening line of any song I've heard this year. But the lovely voice and melodic gift are still there. And Miles saves the best for last: "Rust," with just that voice, her simple piano, and her deeply felt, exquisitely chosen words, is damn near perfect. Lynn, sometimes less is more.

A must have -- every song is great!, 26 May 2000
By D. Hill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Night in a Strange Town (Audio CD)
I saw Lynn open for I think Luka Bloom earlier this year at The Barns at Wolf Trap. She is great live so go see her. I originally bought the CD (at the show) to share with my brother who so often turns me on to new singer/songwriters he's discovered. But it's so great I can't part with it, so am buying one for him plus several more as other gifts. Actually, I can't stop listening to it! I wholehearterdly agree with comments of all the other reviews posted so far. A must have for anyone who's into Lucy K., John Gorka, Richard Shindell, Kim Richey, etc etc.!
