Product Description Praise for Jones & Leva's Light Enough to Find My Way: ". . . a healthy respect for and grounding in traditional, old-time country music, superb musicianship, a magical vocal blend and a sensitive, literate style of writing . . . one of the most refreshing, traditional-sounding recordings of original material to be released in years." --Rich Kerstetter, Sing Out! "Timeless, poetic and affecting songs . . . Jones and Leva have mastered the art of writing new songs that sound generations old -- spare and haunting songs frequently enriched by close harmonies . . . wonderfully evocative string band arrangements." --Mike Joyce, Washington Post "This is how country music would be played and sung if there really were such a thing as `country' music anymore. . . ." --Murphy Henry, Bluegrass UnlimitedThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. Amazon.com Carol Elizabeth Jones and James Leva are really sheep in wolves' clothing. Their commitment to organic instrumentation and their direct presentation has landed them in the traditional-country bin. However, much of their work borrows heavily from contemporary country: Their vocals are polished, their lyrics are a bit cerebral, and many of their melodies offer pop-oriented hooks. None of this is meant as criticism, only as clarification. The result is an appealing blend of traditional and contemporary modes, one that borrows from old-time, bluegrass, honky-tonk, countrypolitan, and even modern country sounds. All of these influences are boiled down to a simply stated and sometimes emotionally engaging collection of songs. --Marc Greilsamer
