Synopsis

Album Description
An eclectic mix of pop/folk/jazz. Vocals are smooth and lush featuring some of L.A.'s top musicians. Songs of searching, journeying, from the power opener "Speak to the Wind" to a vagabond's tale in the Big Apple, "Apple Bites" (set against a jazz backround), to the more acoustic waltz "Juggling Light for Camille" and to the moon (literally) in the lullabye "Sleeping on the Moon". Fans of Sting, Shawn Colvin will feel right at home here.

MAre's music sweeps me into wonderful worlds
09/15/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I highly reccomend "Chasing Sacred" to anyone who like folk music, evocative songwriting and a singing voice of honest beauty.My personal favorite from the album is "Frech Kiss." Mare's Francophilia is fun, especially combined with the sweeping imagery and uncontrollably danceable rhythms.I also like "Coyote" a song that seems to apply Native American legends to modern problems of love and relationships."Chasing Sacred" is perfect for car trips, relaxing at home, or small parties with friends. An up and coming artists who deserves to be heard alongside such artists as Sarah Mac, Stevie Nicks, or the Indigo Girls."

"If I were to be stranded on a desert island that had such amenities as a CD player, Mare Lennon's "Chasing Sacred" would most certainly be one of the albums that I would take with me. A hidden treasure, to be sure, Mare Lennon is one of the best singer/songwriters I've heard in the last 10 years, which is not an overstatement: Over the course of the songs that comprise "Chasing Sacred," Lennon explores a range of moods & scenarios & is always compelling & insightful. At heart, she is a poet."
