After
toiling in near obscurity for more than twenty years, Maggie Brown has
finally released her major label debut and it was worth the wait. Her songs
are a reflective, introspective interpretation of life with a heartfelt
world-weary sincerity that can only come from true-life experiences. She’s
not quite country, not quite rock or blues but definitely good. At times
you can find Maggie Brown to be spunky, bluesy, sexy or rocking but never
off of her game. “I Like It” features harp and slide guitars while “Full
Moon Over Dallas” is a sadly romantic tale. The gritty sounding “ Black
River Blues” and the bluesy sound of “Mosquito Net” are equally satisfying.
“Hush” a delightful lullaby and the closing track “Looking Back” are gems
as well. Maggie Brown’s self-titled debut is one hell of an album.
