"On
the menu
at the Cyd Ward musical diner today, the primary ingredient of all
the entrees is relationships. Ward tells tales and weaves small vignettes
possessing universal human themes. The most powerful song is 'Killing
Time', about the unconscionable violence that permeates from Main Street
to Wall Street through the entire world." "The melancholy 'All
Dressed Up,' about life cycles and circumstances, is a tune Nanci Griffith
or Emmylou Harris would be proud to present. In the chorus of "What's
It Like In Maine," Ward actually sounds reminiscent of a cross between
Griffith and Harris. Order any of the entrees here and you'll do just
fine. Ward, in her first release, has created a fine banquet of specials."

a terrific CD.
I picked it up from the post office at lunchtime yesterday and added it
