Album DescriptionOne very best singers and songwriters in Canada! Earlier CD that have universal recognition of achievement almost cult status, but this stunning new CD, the fifth album and the follow up to the 2003 Juno Award-winning "unfolds", called better, more recording ever made. With a rich mix of pop, country and folk sounds, great melodies and production, intelligent yet accessible lyrics, is both universal and deeply introspective, an explosion of the vehicle for the sweet, melodic and powerful voice Miles ». "Love Sweet Love" again finds Miles joined the "unfolding" producer and guitarist Ian Lefeuvre and drummer Peter Von Althen, both of Starling, and Chelsea Bridge double-bassist John Geggie to create an archive complex, visceral material. Rounding the sound is Prairie Oyster guitarist Keith Glass and violinist James Stephens.

Amazon.ComCanadian folkie Lynn Miles has always brought a new brightness to more familiar topics, and do so again with an album that depicts the shocking hills scary back roads, hairpin curves, desolate valleys, and all ground-level of love. Picking up where last record, the Juno Award-winning clip left off, writes the lyric poetry of injuries ( "I have no strength to move, to breathe, to cry, to scream, to stand and fight"), and moves through various stages of love, from seduction to paralyzing sadness. Miles works at rootsy style (think Shawn Colvin by Lucinda Williams, especially on the banjo-driven and country-ish "8 ωρών Drive"), but was too slow in the dark reality of the dissolution of Romanticism, most effectively in an elegant pop the "Night Drive", which tries to overcome the points races. Miles stops on its journey to reflect on the complex and mysterious machinations of the primary organ of love (the hauntingly melancholy "sweet and tender heart), and as the most doomed lovers do, find an optimistic tone and deliverance from her pain. Grief is our salvation. – Alanna Nash

The confessional singer-songwriter is usually contractors to my taste, but Lynn Miles, which I hear for the first time in this CD, the style is honest.

These are the songs of adult experience – loneliness, heartbreak, sexuality, escape – not cloy nor collapse into narcissistic obsessiveness.

They sound real, as in stories and emotions from recognizable life. Miles is a strong, expressive singer, especially effective for feed tours as "Night Drive", "8 hours of driving," and "This Is the Night." Although approached this recording with some skepticism, I was surprised pleasantly discovering significant – though so far ignored – talent. Hopefully this CD, Miles gets the attention it deserves south of the Canadian border.

I like this album more than "unfolds" and I love it. In fact, I think it is better from the first beautiful, "Slightly Haunted." There are few pop hooks here, but I think it makes things better, and used correctly, not as a crutch or filler. Slightly outdated voice (now) used beautifully in sync with the lyrics and accompaniment. Miles has been cut around the complexity of the songs, but if you pack everything equally, if not more, this punch. He has won two awards and deserved the Canadian Folk Awards for this album (including Best Contemporary songwriter), and you can see why here.

The album moves me a lot just with each listen.

The poet of sorrow and northern chill is back with an album of new songs-the first four years of wonderful unravel. While not quite up to the high level (or that equally wonderful second CD of slightly HAUNTED), there is much to love this new version. In fact, the title cut and some others are on the edge of love that wishes for it, and the walls that keep out or keep it in a way Lynn melody is as engaging as ever, almost talking and then the song approach and the direct and personal, as ever, hope and longing and sorrow as palpable as ever.

A Thousand LOVERS could put their ARMS AROUND ME A Thousand wish could be caught Summer rain LIKE A THOUSAND MOTHERS could sing "Hush now, do NOT shout" THERE IS NOTHING IN TONIGHT world what is going to TAKE AWAY MY PAIN .

But it breaks with joy sometimes, or soon-especially in "This is the Night" and "Sweet and tender heart." You wish that Lin. You want the down-turned sides of the sensitive mouth lift. This beautiful Canada has done it again. Beautiful.
