Sparsely produced by Gurf Morlix, the album is warm enough to keep everything cozy over the winter months, but interesting enough to sound good all the year round. ~ Zac Johnson, All Music Guide

Ambition
performed by David (Dave) Mallett, 1951- (Rounder Records, 1999), 39 mins
In the four years between his last studio album, In The Falling Dark, and this one, David Mallett left Nashville and returned to his native Maine. This retrenchment is reflected in the songs on Ambition, all of which are at least tinged with sadness and most of which are downright bitter.Mallett begins with "Here...

In the four years between his last studio album, In The Falling Dark, and this one, David Mallett left Nashville and returned to his native Maine. This retrenchment is reflected in the songs on Ambition, all of which are at least tinged with sadness and most of which are downright bitter.Mallett begins with "Here In This City You Live In," one of those on-the-road songs about cold-calling someone you used to know. But there's no story here, just the singer's own regret. And he remains regretful in "Wild In The Sixties" and "You Can't Go Home Again," both of which look back at the past without much affection and at the present with less. "Greenin' Up," about the coming of spring, provides some relief, although it begins with the singer comparing himself to an old horse: "Just like me he's seen his better days." "Whiskey Talkin'" is full of drunken raving, while "Walkin'" anticipates getting laid off. The title track comments on the singer's "best friend and my worst, " and "The Next Time I Leave Here" is about a romantic breakup. It isn't until the album's last three songs that Mallett seems to feel he's made things too dark and tries, through the more gently described past history of "Sportin' Days," the romantic "Lilacs," and the stubbornly hopeful "Turn It Over To Love," to lighten things up. But it's too little too late. Mallett has sometimes been compared to Merle Haggard, and the comparison is valid in that both songwriters can take an unremittingly bleak world view that goes beyond criticism into sheer bile. His restrained performance style undercuts the negativity in his lyrics; if you don't listen too carefully, the record sounds like an old Gordon Lightfoot album you somehow never heard before. But as you get to know the songs, Mallett comes off as a curmudgeon and, ultimately, a boor. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Seeing Things

While previous albums have explored Lewis' prodigious fiddle talents and her ability to put a new spin on bluegrass music, Seeing Things zeroes in on her glorious voice and her ability to tell a story with it.

While previous albums have explored Lewis' prodigious fiddle talents and her ability to put a new spin on bluegrass music, Seeing Things zeroes in on her glorious voice and her ability to tell a story with it. Eight of the 11 tunes come from her pen; tunes like "The Refugee," "Kiss Me Before I Die," "Angel On His Shoulder," and "Bane and Balm" all show tremendous growth as a writer, while the opening "Blues Days, Sleepless Nights" bears strong comparison to her best bluegrass work. Tom Russel's "Manzanar" (the story of a World War II Japanese POW), her duet with Cris Williamson on "Let the Bird Go Free" and the traditional "The Blackest Crow" set moods bleak, somber and ethereal. But mostly it comes down to Lewis' voice, an instrument of uncommon beauty, depth and versatility. This is one special album. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide
