  1. A work of formidable and pristine beauty.
  2. Humming By The Flowered Vine takes the rootsy sounds of classic country music (incorporating Hank Williams, Lucinda Williams and everyone in between) and plops them smack dab in the middle of Manhattan.

    The melodies and brittle guitars burrow into your cerebrum. [Jul 2005, p.106]
  4. 60
    It's not until the seventh song that voice and material converge satisfyingly. [Jul 2005, p.115]

    Laura Cantrell's crystal clear vocals are beautiful, reminiscent of Kitty Wells. This album's Big City meditations evoke traditional country, bluegrass, honky talk, and the shimmery melodies of 60's California country acts. Expand

    Simply beatiful and balanced album full of emotions.

    Too slick and AOR for my liking. Try The Tremblin' Kind for a more gritty down to earth country album.
