Album Name: Mary Mary
Artist: Rhonda Stakich
Year/Label: 2006 / Independent
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Rhonda Stakich’ record starts with the Beatles-y strains of the title track and it’s catchy and likeable. The harmonies are stunning.
“Simple Matters” is a gorgeous little song, Stakich has a clear, lovely voice and her words are clever. She reminds me of Suzanne Vega here.
“Breakin’ the Tie” has a bluesy slant to it and a nice, half-spoken vocal. It sounds fluid and easy on the ear.
A cover of Dylan’s “Guess I’m Doin’ Fine” is sweet and beautifully delivered.
Rhonda Stakich’ record is short, but all of it’s great.
