Laura Cantrell - When The Roses Bloom Again

And more again...

The album that came after Not The Tremblin' Kind (and before Humming By The Flowered Vine), and has a slightly fuller and more produced sound than that debut, and also generally a more upbeat tempo, but retains the same indefinable something which seemingly characterises all of her work. That said, at this stage I don't think that I like it quite as much as the other two - it doesn't seem quite as finely-wrought, somehow...I don't know - but, y'know, I still like it fine and some of its tunes ("All The Same To You" and "Vaguest Idea" in particular) have a definite tendency to get stuck in my head and run around over and over...also, "Yonder Comes A Freight Train" is way fun.
