| "Sarah
Pierce sounds like a combination of at least ten different artists.
I'm talking about the female scene of the mid '80, let's say around the
first Edie Brickell album. So, it's more Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro than
Ani DiFranco or Tori Amos, the latter two being too neurotic to accept
the idea of spending a whole day "sitting here talking with you" (Talking
With You).
But it's okay, at least once in a while, to let ourselves be caressed by the serene thought and cradled by the peaceful easy feeling of being brought back to 1975. If Sarah were only more sorrowful, she would perhaps write more intense and deep songs like Turn Around, the best selection on the album. Ultimately, it's not her fault if, up till now, her life has been filled with many fine moments like the ones described in these songs."
