Flesh and Bone
The highlight of this record, the song I return to again and again, is Kaplansky's cool, troubling take on the old ballad "Mary and the Soldier." An east coast folkie who came of age with Shawn Colvin, Kaplanksy's own material is rarely up to traditional standards, but she sings her own sometimes clever, sometimes precious tunes with a clear, springy tenor, and her guitar work has the virtues of speed and lightness of touch. Fortunately she chooses covers smartly, with Richard Thompson's "Don't Renege on Our Love" and Nick Lowe's "What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding" being standouts. --Roy Francis Kasten more

- WOW, A Very Good First Album from LK! :)
Best songs on this CD are "If You Could See Me," "Scorpion," "Still Life," and "This is Mine." Alittle bit twangy in a couple of the numbers, but overall excellent. I'm glad LK's music didn't follow the "twangy" road. The guitar work...

- Nancy Griffith Redux
Don't get me wrong-- Lucy has a pretty voice. It's just that Nancy Griffith is much more talented, both as a singer and as a writer... and Lucy's voice sounds like she could be Griffith's younger sister... that, mixed-in with some...

- Lucy Kaplansky sounds too much like Suzanne Vega
This is quality music, no doubt. However, it strikes me as being too similar to the original works of Suzanne Vega. So while it's a pleasant listen, I would recommend Ms. Vega first.
