Description
|
|
|
|
Making herself right at home with sultry blues, jazz, and pop, Mollie O'Brien brings her warm and shimmering alto to Percy Mayfield's "River's Invitation," Abbey Lincoln's "Throw It Away," Lennon-McCartney's "You Won't See Me," the rueful ballad "When I've Got the Moon," and more. Although she has a flourishing solo career, Prairie Home Companion listeners will also recognize O'Brien as one-quarter of the Hopeful Gospel Quartet. "O'Brien has found her elegant stride."—Boston Herald "She turns Kristina Olsen's 'Practicing Walking Away' into an exercise in melancholy that is worthy of Chet Baker. And the Randy Hadley–Charles John Quarto tune 'Train Time' becomes in her care a tender, gracious elegy which earns its poetic thesis: 'Funny how a howling wind / is at the mercy of the mandolin'."—Charleston Gazette
