| Abra Moore - Strangest Places Band: Abra Moore Tracks: - Four Leaf Clover - Don't Feel Like Cryin' - Strangest Places - Happiness - Never Believe You Now - Say It Like That - Your Faithful Friend - All I Want - In Light of It All - Keeps My Body Warm - Guitar Song - Summer's Ending hey hey hey I don't know how Abra Moore got on my recommendation list since I primarily like folk music with strictly sincere song writing. However, Abra is a rock musician I do not mind having in my CD collection. Her music is very upbeat, positive, and fun. I certainly appreciate the clean lyrics which are safe to play with the kids around, not a feature in much of today's popular pop and rock tunes. Thanks Abra. In some of the tracks I detect some Beatles influence which adds to the kick you get from this CD. In a lesser rock tone, Abra sings in her track Your Faithful Friend what you might need to hear in a world where you're more likely to hear "get a grip." To those on the pain forums and boards, you could Fall asleep to a tune with Abra's comforting, "cry if you can and if you can't Fall to the ground without a sound." There are other fine songs with clever lyrics. I have had this CD now for about six months, and it certainly gets a lot of playing time. And, I get a lot of yeah, hey, hey, hey, and la la la la la la la la la. This is a well-produced CD with a good layout of tracks. And, she is from Texas too. 3½ stars I bought this CD by chance -- good chance. I had just bought my Lilith Fair tickets, and Abra was one of the second stage acts; I'd never heard of her, but a local music store had Strangest Places available to listen to, and I'd be willing to bet that one listen will be enough to grab you, too. Her fabulously down-to-earth, pop-chorus rock isn't ground-breaking or technically amazingly, but it sounds great, and isn't that why we listen? The entire album is fairly solid, but about half the songs -- "Don't Feel Like Cryin'" is My Favorite -- capture the blend of rock and pop music perfectly. Listen to this album on a rainy day, or drag your speakers onto the lawn and listen to it while you lie in the sun. This is accessible music, with Abra's great vocals (on most songs) backed by solid, catchy guitar tracks. If my glowing recommendation seems to Conflict with my rating of 3½ stars, it's because among the standouts are a few songs which, while not unpleasant to listen to, aren't quite up to par. I prefer her faster, rockier tracks, but the fan who also enjoys slower tunes like "Happiness" should be thrilled with this disc. The otherside of Folk Rock. It is rare in the world of music that you find an Artist who can blend both the genres of folk rock and pop to create a style all their own. The CD Strangest Places buy up and comer Abra Moore is such a CD by such an artist. Combining the emotion of folk rock with the essence of popular music makes songs such as Four Leaf Clover and Strangest Places appeal to a very wide audience. The album also combines more upbeat popular songs with sultry folk recordings to create a Truly unique sound, which until now had non one to bring it into the main stream. Abra Moore was a shining star on the recent lilith Fair tour, and as soon as you hear the CD Strangest Places it isn't difficult to see why. So if your in the mood to see the other side of Folk rock take a listen to Strangest Places by Abra Moore an unparalelled combination of popular Culture and folk rocker soul.
