I bought this CD for two simple reasons, it was cheap ($2.00 at the used record store) and Tara is cute (at least on the front of the CD cover she is). Oh yeah, and her Scottish name evoked hopes of finding another Sarah or Loreena or something along those lines. O.K. so three reasons, but still a pretty shallow excuse for buying a CD. As it turns out it wasn't that bad of an investment. The songs are a little sappy and sentimental but Tara has a pretty voice that is only occassionaly eclipsed by the drum machine that pounds through every song like a jackhammer breaking up the sidewalk in front of your house at 6:00 A.M. on a Saturday morning. This set is nice and unchallenging, but I have been listening to the thing for a few days now and it has been good background music to my life at the moment. That is, aside for that pesky drum machine. The liner notes read like a page from the Tori Amos "How to say thank you in interesting and unintelligible ways so that everybody knows they aren't in on the joke" instructional pamphlet, but whose doesn't any more. This is a nice CD. It could have done with being a little less nice, but there you have it. The only truly exceptional song on the thing, and the one I anticipate through the entire playing is the hidden track #13 that is very raw and primal with lots of humming and hollering (and, yes, it too features the dreaded drum machine). If Tara could channel the type of energy that went into this song into her regular stuff, I think her music would be quite a bit better, or at least quite a bit more dangerous.
