Lynn Patrick- When She Dreams (2002 Lynn Patrick)

Well known for her acoustic guitar wizardry and show-quality melodies, Lynn Patrick has released her best album yet, When She Dreams. She says about the content, "My inspiration comes mostly from the natural world." Titles such as "Snow Angels" and "The Orange Grove" make that obvious.
The listener does not need long to conclude that Lynn is well written in a number of styles. The album starts with up-beat Saturday-Morning-Special music "Ten Dolphins Dancing," slows a bit to jazz inspired "Little Karoo," then gives way to introspective country/folk "Treasure Box."
"A Flurry of Sparrows" tells a story as an instrumental just as well as if there were words. The guitar sings the melody and the piano picks up the chorus. "Namaste" is almost classical music, wandering on a journey from the guitar to the piano through the cello and back. Title track "When She Dreams" has an uncanny likeness in tempo and mysticism to David Crosby's "Guinnevere."
She ends with a bit of "Cotton Eyed Joe" style original pickin' with "Can't Stop." Lynn interlaces folk with country twang, classical elegance and spirited jazz, creating the perfect soundtrack for life's social events or quiet afternoons. Please see www.lynnpatrick.com for more information.
