That is remarkable in itself. How many other bands have been together for so long producing new material on a regular basis? What is most remarkable is that this album may be its best work yet.\u00a0The versatile musicians on this album explore a variety of genres, from Appalachian folk ballad to gospel to some of the most rocking songs since the earliest incarnations of the band. The production beautifully balances each sister\u2019s vocals, bringing out the best in their individual vocal styles and then bringing them together in their exquisite harmonies. The singing is more mature, more assured, and, to my ears, the best they\u2019ve ever sounded.\u00a0In these days in which the female songwriting voice is in its ascendency, we have grown accustomed to hearing that perspective from younger artists. What a joy to hear the same from a seasoned writer. In Nerissa Nields\u2019 songs, she\u2019s preaching her gospel. That\u2019s what we want from an artist. One song ends with, \u201cI want to write one sentence that is true and sing it to you. That\u2019s what we do.\u201d To that, I say, \u201cAmen.\u201d\u00a0-Jeff Passe<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Circle of Days is the twenty-first album by the folk-rock group, The Nields.
