Format:Audio CD
Sweet honey-scented words drip like treacle from the louche lips of Hope Sandoval, accompanied by slack psychedelic country-rock janglings on guitar. Downtempo but never dull, this masterpiece of alt.rock falls somewhere between folk, rock, country and psychedelia, managing to sound both melancholy and blissful at the same time. An album for smoky, hazy and lazy summer afternoons or long, dark, lonely nights.

Format:Audio CD
Mazzy Star's debut album is a dreamy blend of folk/pop with hints of blues and a twist of 1960s-style psychedelic rock. What really stands out, though, is Hope Sandoval's remarkable voice, by turns honeyed, strong and plaintive but always pretty damn sexy.
The most successful tracks are those with a more minimal backing to Sandoval's vocals, for example `Ride It On' and `Give You My Loving'. `I'm Sailing' shows a strong blues influence whilst `Ghost Highway' and the title track are rockier numbers. These latter songs are the albums slight weak points, the title track in particular outstays its welcome a little.
The lyrics match Sandoval's vocals beautifully - melancholy tales of absent men and unrequited love are steeped in the atmosphere of America's Deep South.
`She Hangs Brightly' is a lovely record with few faults; as mentioned the best tracks are truly exquisite. Recommended.

Mazzy Star's first album is still the best. I've listened to it since the 90's.
Both Vinyl and CD versions are good in different ways.
Be My Angel is my favorite track.
