Karen Mal 's songs are like the old time remedy that mixed honey and lemon....They are sweet without being precious and have a lasting bite to them that makes them both memorable and good for you.
I first saw Karen play in Austin while I was having a little music vacation and in a city with some really great music, she was the standout.
This is the second CD I bought of hers and I think it's her best. She has some beautiful songs here and I find myself poping this CD in all the time. The thing that will grab you right off is her voice. It's just really intoxicating and well suited to her blend of Celtic and folk.
My favorite song is "Rosalie" but "Take a Drive" and the title song "Mercury's Wings" are the favorites in my family.
