Smarter Video Review now playing for this product:

Long Island Shores

From: $13.97

With her expressively breathy vocals and uplifting melodies, Mindy Smith expresses both the romantic and spiritual dimensions of rapture. It can occasionally be hard to tell whether Smith is singing of God or love, or if she even makes a distinction between the two. Whether she's invoking prayer and sin in the opening "Out Loud," hoping that God's looking out for her in "Out of Control," casting a seductive charmer as a "Little Devil," or recalling her preacher father in the title track, Smith's material blurs the distinction between the earthly and the ethereal. Her duet with kindred spirit Buddy Miller on "What If the World Stops Turning" highlights the album, though the Nashville-based artist rarely hints at country within her buoyant brand of folk-pop. --Don McLeese

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 16, 2007 Type: User Review Wonderful Songs Exploring a Variety of Emotions

This c.d. is really a thing of beauty. Her songs are varied, express heartfelt emotions, and do not wallow in self-pity, pretentiousness and endless self-absorbtion, problems that afflict several of today's very popular singers.

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 27, 2007 Type: User Review In the End, We Always Find Peace of Mind

As the editorial review says, Smith has a collection of songs on this release where she may not even make a distinction between love and God. Smith's values on both were deep-rooted in her brilliant debut CD(which still holds up three years...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 21, 2007 Type: User Review A message we all need.

Mindy Smith has a great voice, plays a guitar and puts out a message we all need. The cd starts out with Out Loud, something we all need more of prayer out loud. I am not a religous freak but we all need more prayer today. Then she tell us a...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 08, 2007 Type: User Review Hurrah, Finally a second album and it works!!

A local alternative radio station did a show once about second albums that never measured up to the first so they were the last. Not so here.... this is equally as good if not better than Mindy's first album and I highly recommend it too. You...

Wonderful songs in a folk/pop/acoustical mix that works on many levels. Mindy's voice is just beautiful. (Think: Shawn Colvin) The lyrics tell stories, the songs are all unique.

I have only recently been exposed to Mindy Smith. A few of the songs on Moment to Moment really grabbed me very quickly. That album is most satisfying, the vocals pure and natural and very beautiful.

Amazing, astounding album. There's something healing about this album, maybe it's Smith's heartfelt and passionate vocals, or the honest lyrics that most anyone can relate to. I could tell that Smith really poured herslef into this album. Songs that

I've loved Mindy Smith's voice from the first time I heard her version of "..Berkley Square" on an album that showcased new talent. I've wished she'd sing a few more standards with that incredibly rich voice of hers.
I love this...
