Review by Digman
An eclectic and passionate fourteen-track CD grocery bag of lyrically edible produce, which is carried and then delivered by voice – Rachel Cross, who carries in her arms…a guitar!
A folk-gracioso of unusually creative ideas (thoughts), “Angels & Aliens, Monsters & Freaks” is a musical-emporium of all these things.
Truth wise, Cross is musically difficult to describe but in any case (whatever the description), Cross (her CD) – is a grab bag of well-written and performed music that grabs your attention.
Segueing into the lyrical production (punctuation) of humorous vocal wit – “The Laundry Song” is a clever domestic under-the-tongue folk song (blues), which justly deserves a good-housekeeping seal… of musical approval.
“On The Mountain” is a display of good Crossfire, the vocal folk/soul style. Here her voice is deeper than the lyrics and I like it…especially with the added enhancement (color) of phat digital trax – David Cross!
And closing with “Dancez Tous En Ronde” an appropriately happy (CD) ending to the Cross-crossword puzzle of “Angels & Aliens, Monsters & Freaks”… produced by Marco Delmar.
