Love Sweet Love
Canadian songbird Lynn Miles sings lusciously on her fifth country-tinged, folk-pop album. Smart lyrics abound as she expounds on love lost and gained, sketched with dark hues and rising tempos. The haunting loneliness that prevails here finds its best expression on two road tunes, "Night Drive" and
the upbeat "8 Hour Drive," supported by producer Ian LeFeuvre's down-home banjo picking. Other highlights include the guitar-strummed rhythmic openers "Flames of Love" and the title cut. The first, inspired by Sufi poetry, posits a deep love of saints, heroes and martyrs who take risks in the flames of desire in the face of cynics and doubters; the second, partially informed by the Sept. 11, 2001, cell phone calls to loved ones from hijacked planes, affirms the pain and pleasure of "sweet love." —Dan Ouellette
