CD Review: Fireflies - Faith Hill - Page 2

The sinuous tones of Dan Dugmore's dobro frame the bluegrass feel of "If You Ask". The lyrics "I want to be your lover, I don't want to be your policeman" lend credit to her quote above, "It all begins with a song." I will admit that her call to arms "We've Got Nothing But Love To Prove" is hands down my favorite. It is pointed, yet not a whining political statement that so many artists fall into. The upbeat yet wide-eyed lyrics call for a look into everything we are today, "Is everything A-OK in the USA?" and ending with the question "How about you?" So, How about you. Me? I'm just tappin' my foot along in time.

The sheer beauty of guitarist Dann Huff's gut-string and Stuart Duncan's fiddle are only shadowed by the beautiful voice that has become Faith Hill's signature. The musicians used in cutting this CD are by and afar some of the best that Nashville has to offer, and it shows. I learned in culinary school that a dish is only as good as the quality of ingredients used, any master chef would be jealous of this wonderful offering to your musical palate.
