Review

Toshi rocks! While fusing the soul-stirring spirit of gospel with the folkier strains of social conscience, the expansively ebullient Reagon and ace producer Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, Joe Henry) have forged a fresh sound that is both contemporary and beyond category. "Mountain Top" and "Ballad of the Broken Word" suggest Tracy Chapman as an Indigo Girl, but such an equation fails to account for the irresistibly engaging pop of "Slippin' Away" and "The Ones Who Love You," the rock propulsion of "I Hate/I Love," and the languid, intimate transformation of the Cars' "Just What I Needed" (in stripped-down duet with Marc Anthony "Chocolate Genius" Thompson). Reagon's vocal warmth throughout reflects a big heart, while her razor-sharp band cuts a series of indelible grooves. Reagon's musical development continues to honor her familial legacy (mother Bernice Johnson Reagon is Sweet Honey in the Rock's matriarch; godmother Toshi Seeger is Pete Seeger's wife), but here she's claiming some artistic turf that is all her own. --Don McLeese
