Comment:

That great, yawning expanse of America between the Rockies and the Appalachians gets its due in song here, as Hacklebarney folkie Greg Brown distills an easy-rolling charm from “Summer Evening,” describing nights when “the corn’s set high and there’s more lightnin’ bugs than stars in the sky.” Classically trained Christine Brown (no relation) uses her piano skills impressionistically (and impressively) in “Summer Nights,” Trespassers William turn from shoegazing to stargazing in the dreamily evocative “Different Stars,” and Meat Loaf dials up the heat of love with “You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night).”
