Review by Bruce Kula:

"The first time I set ears on Maggie Council was in November 1991. The first thing that struck me was she was no strummer: she’d get a funky groove going and then, impossibly, sing against it. When she mentioned in her blog not long ago that she got a Warwick bass guitar for Mother’s Day, that element of Ms. Council’s sound suddenly made sense: too many people get behind an acoustic guitar and channel Bob Dylan; she gets behind an acoustic guitar and channels maybe James Jamerson. Really, I think I’m onto something here: listen to how the bass in “When Mama’s Happy” insinuates itself increasingly until it’s one with the guitar... In any event, that’s only one of her sounds in general and on this CD. There’s a gorgeous samba here (“Ordinary Dias”), a breathtakingly raw parlor-piano blues (“Coulda Been”), and a bittersweet and lovely timeshifting tribute to her father (“You Were Dancing”). She can be as artistic as you like (“Waking Up”) and as straightforward (“Nebraska Avenue”). And, brother, she can break your heart. There’s something about her harmonies that could melt stone. At least it’s my simple opinion that if the chorus of “These Two Boys” doesn’t break your heart, you’ve got the entirety of what it takes to be a professional music critic. Supporting musicians are crackerjack all around. I reserve special praise for the producer, Dr. Robert C. Constable, Jr., who applied the same sort of surgical skill to layering sounds that a certain kind of woman can apply to putting on her makeup: in the end you think the woman isn’t wearing any makeup, the same way Constable makes you think all that music organically just came out that way. That’s art."
