Eddi Reader: "Mirmama"
This is Eddi Reader's1991 solo debut, following the demise of
Fairground Attraction. And a lovely little thing it is, too. She
has one of those warm, velvety brown voices that just wrap around
you and keep you warm, and a way with lyrics that speak intelligently
to the everyday. Even her covers take own her own coloring, whether
it's John Prine's "Hello in There," Fred Neil's "Dolphins," or
a particularly inspired version of the trad. favorite "The Blacksmith,"
which is forged in a whole modern lease on life that suits it
well.
