Kris Delmhorst's "Song for a Hurricane"

Kris Delmhorst, who is coming to the Narrows only for the second time on Friday, May 12, released a CD a couple years back (she only releases them every now and then) called "Songs for a Hurricane." This is the follow up to her terrific "Five Stories" CD earlier this century, one that is still a favorite.

"Hurricane" is a change of pace: not as much instrumentation, and Kris' voice is way out front in the mix usually. This might be described as her "chanteuse" CD; her singing is a lot of the focus, which is fine because she does an outstanding job.

Since I'm not one for much song analysis, I will leave that to others. Click here for a review from "Roots Highway." Here's one from acousticmusic.com. And one from cdbaby.com.
