Seastories

Seastories

Minnie Drivers new CD SEASTORIES explores new musical territory, from the rich sonic textures of "Beloved" to the bluesy soul of "Cold Dark River" to the seductive minor key groove of "Mockingbird" to the poetic chamber folk of "Lakewater Hair." Producer Marc "Doc" Dauer and guest musicians Ryan Adams and The Cardinals, Liz Phair and Rami Jaffee (The Wallfowers) match but never overwhelm Driver's vivid lyrics, soaring melodies and spirited performances on this thoroughly pleasing collection of intelligent pop.

"A Triple A Triumph."- Chuck Taylor (Billboard Magazine)
"Driver proves to be Hollywood's soulful surprise." - Gabe Guarente (US Weekly)
"A Minnie-Splendored Thing... Anybody who dismissed Minnie Driver's debut as just the whim of another moonlighting actress will have a hard time denying her now." - Brian Mansfield (USA Today)
"Driver is clearly a confident performer and a songwriter with a style both evocative and economical." - Kevin Bronson (Los Angeles Times)

Summary: Surprisingly Good!
Comment: I had no idea that Minnie Driver could sing! I came across this cd on Amazon.com while looking for something else and listened to the samples, glad I did! This is a great cd, it has a great sound and lyrics. It is a different type of music for me, but it was definitely a good purchase. I have always enjoyed her acting, now I enjoy her music abilities as well. I would certainly recommend this cd to everyone!!!

Summary: who'd of thunk it?
Comment: Minnie Driver and music? It boggled the mind that such a good actress could sing too? Boy does she, her music is absolutely perfect, her voice clear and it resonates the soul. She has become one of my favorite artist on the iPod! I purchased the first album after this one and will probably buy every one that she releases. Thanks Minnie... I love the music!

Summary: Very Good Singer ~ Songwriter CD
Comment: While Minnie Driver may not be another Joni Mitchell, or Janis Ian (for examples of the apex of the golden age of the Singer ~ Songwriter), that is not to say that this is not a completely worthwhile CD because it is. If you enjoy the idea of the genre, here are more soul bearing songs, well written, and warmly preformed.

Ms. Driver, continues to please and surprise, in this follow-up to "Everything I've got in my pocket". The tone of "SeaStories" is a bit less genuine than say KT Tunstall, but not much. Overall if there weren't so many really good CD's that have been released in the last couple of months, I might have rated this 5 stars, because as I have said about Ms. Driver before, although I find her a wonderful actress, she is NOT an actress making a CD, she is a very good Singer ~ Songwriter who happens to also be a very good actress.

If you enjoy Ms. Driver as an actress, this may be a pleasant surprise.
If you are looking for a CD that has good songwriting, soothingly sexy vocals, and completely professional production, then this is a CD to Buy.
