Review

Seconds into her debut solo effort, Carrie Akre proclaims, "Small girl in a small world / Give me back my innocence," and with these words she sets the tone for the entire album. Home offers an intimate look into the heart and soul of a singularly gifted artist who, in reclaiming her innocence, is asserting her right, in fact her destiny, to live her life writing songs and singing. After years spent in numerous rock bands, all signed to major-label deals that proved disappointing, Akre is rediscovering herself. The result is a confident, engaging tour de force that transcends description--one moment drawing on the acid-jazz tinged keyboards of Reggie Watts (Maktub), the next defiantly rocking out with Harris Thurmond's (Orbiter) and Garth Reeves's (Goodness) muscular guitar work. The album seamlessly runs the gamut from the deeply rhythmic "Humdrum" and "Blind"--drum loops courtesy of Akre's brother Eric and producer Tucker Martine--to the soulful "Reflection," in which Akre implores, "Don't give up on me." With music this impassioned and triumphant, how could we? --Michael WellsAfter almost ten years of playing leader to Seattle's Hammerbox and Goodness and battling with three major record labels, rock diva Carrie Akre has stepped out into a world all her own. The result? A sold-out single released in the summer of 1999 and a full-length album due out July 25, 2000 on her label, Good-Ink Records. The sound? Surprisingly resonant and emotive? Perhaps. Gracefully mature and honest? Maybe. Intoxicatingly sensual and strong? Hell yeah, baby!
