Review

In her artistic maturity, the champion Canadian fiddle prodigy has developed a mastery of musical mood swings. About half of Take Me Back comprises sprightly instrumentals--many of them traditional tunes from April Verch's native Ottawa Valley--which spotlight her extraordinary virtuosity (and nimble step dancing). Interspersed with these are vocal numbers of such brooding despair and bittersweet vulnerability that they break the listener's heart. The title track about the torture of lost love is one of three from the songbook of Julie Miller (one written with husband Buddy), while the luminous "Bride of Jesus" is one of three from Claire Lynch. On these, Verch turns the limits of her girlish voice--its lack of range, polish, and lung power--into interpretive strengths. On the instrumental numbers, she plainly has no limits. --Don McLeese
