Another CD I bought at Borders. This is a double CD in a cardboard cover from 2001. I always looked at them first. I hate the plastic jewel cases. When I looked at the back for the song titles there were two that were cities in Pennsylvania so that cinched it. I had to buy it. After playing the first disk, it quickly became a favorite. Both discs are under 35 minutes long with 8 tracks on each, one recorded in Chicago and one in Nashville. Six of the eight on the Chicago disc are great, don’t think I ever played the second and when I listened to it none were familiar and none as good as the six on disc one. Although the songs are very chick oriented, about bad relationships and break-ups they are songs I really like. “Patsy Cline” has some horns and a sound that reminds me of Joni Mitchell’s Hissing of Summer Lawns album. “Clear Cut”, “Baby, Would It Matter” and “Word Traffic” with the opening line, “He had more records than words”, that I can relate to are all great songs. “Breezewood, Pa.” talks about a “City with over 1,000 friendly hotels”. I remember reading an article in the 80’s that said Breezewood had more hotels per square mile than any city in the U.S. “Needmore. Pa.” is about domestic abuse. Needmore is a small town in Fulton county on rt. 522. I drove through it on the way to a vacation in Virginia once just to check it out. Not much to it. All six of those songs are on my playlist. I had her only other CD Tempting from 2002. I played that but didn’t like any of the songs so I stopped at track 7. Toomey, from the D.C. area, co-founded the Secret Machines label in 1990. During the 90’s she played in 6 different bands before releasing these two solo CDs.She was a co-founder of the Future of Music Coalition, a musician advocacy group in 2000 and is now a director of the Ford Foundation Catylist Fund.
