Details Release Date: Jul 30, 2002; Lead Performance: Kathy Mattea

Mattea, who traded traditional Nashville fare for a personal blend of alt-country and Celtic-laced folk, delivers a beautiful set of songs balancing the secular and spiritual. She invests tales about the fragility of life, the senselessness of war, and the consequences of undeclared emotions with quiet dignity and stately resolve. Healing balm for troubled times.
