"The simplicity and gorgeous melody of Maria Taylor's music is not to be denied! You can really hear her stretching here, too. She actually SINGS now, as opposed to the gentle croon of her earlier music. I ADORE this disc. The emotional standout here is definately "Clean Getaway" OH WOW. "A Good Start" is such a LIFTING track, and it's title seems more than appropriate.

I would have actually rated this 4 1/2 stars, because i feel that the slight rap in "Irish Goodbye" is ill-advised at best. The dude has a clean flow, it just feels a bit planned, you know?

"My Own Fault" is another gem that comes to mind here. This album is much more focused than Maria'a solo debut, 11:11, another gorgeous slice of goodness. Get it. Now.

thank you Maria, for sharing your voice."

Hauntingly addicting :::

"this is my introduction to Maria Taylor, besides the bg vocals with bright eyes.... and i don't want to turn this record off. i can just let it play and play and play.



this is a record full of atmosphere, emotion (but not slushy), and fun. it is fun and melancholy all at the same time- the record contains variety, but is consistent. folk to trip-hop. just good music.



enjoy. i am.
