5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth the Wait, 14 Mar 2008
By A. D. Landau (Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Asking for Flowers (Audio CD)
Well it has been three long years for us but those years felt even longer for Kathleen as she laments in album opener Buffalo - "I've run aground truth be told and when it comes to me I'll let you know". A very long tour in support of last album Back To Me and subsequent exhaustion and writers block made the writing and recording of this album a much greater trial than expected but well done to the label for letting the artist indulge her knackered muse as the result is near perfection. The choice of Jim Scott as producer is a good one with Kathleen pushing her vocal phrasing and range with the arrangements of songs helping to realise and emphasise their potential so that they tingle your spine and get your feet tapping in equal measure. Kathleen's lyrical musings are excellent as always and she knows how to turn a phrase that will make you smile and make you think. Overall, a worthy successor to both Failer and Back to Me and to have surpassed those albums means this is a fine, fine piece of work indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Country, alt.country, rock, Americana? Who cares, it's superb!, 1 May 2008
By Michael Davis (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After Failer and its follow-up Back to Me, Canada's finest has truly delivered with an exceptional and varied offering. Edwards has been likened to Lucinda Williams and Flowers compares favourably with the classic Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. With such an unusual voice, excellent backing musicians and an ability to write clever, accessible story songs, she hits the mark again and again on the album. Everyone will have their own favourites but the opener, Buffalo, showcases Edwards' unique voice backed by piano and strings. Oh Canada, a scathing attack on her own people as they bury their collective heads in the sand faced with the world's problems, rocks out with more than a cap doffed to Neil Young, whilst I Make the Dough is the most 'country' track but transcends the genre with clever lyrical work: 'You're the Great One, I'm Marty McSorley' (apparently a reference to ice hockey's journeyman-pro whose job was to protect legend Wayne Gretsky).

Give Asking for Flowers a try - then buy the previous two albums. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars EMOTIONAL TRAIN WRECKS NEVER SOUNDED BETTER, 10 Mar 2008
By L. H. Bishop "MACMAN" (UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Asking for Flowers (Audio CD)
Kathleen Edwards inhabits that dark place deep inside where it hurts like hell to recall all the heartache and pain caused by the emotional train wrecks of long ago and far away, the ghost of tom petty pervades each track and insures kathleens 3rd is as vital and totally spellbinding as its predecessors, it would be difficult to imagine a better release in 2008, yes i believe it is that good. macman.
