This review is from: Across Great Divide (Audio CD)
For those of you who do not know the music of Jo Carol Pierce, this is one way of learning about a truly great-yet-apparently little-known songwriter. Personally, I prefer listening to Jo Carol perform her own material, but there are people in this world who simply cannot handle the "twang" of a good Texas accent. Oh, well. If you are one of these people, then "Across the Great Divide" is the way you get your recommended dose of JCP. The only people I've met who don't like the music (and writing) of Jo Carol seem to lack a characteristic that is commonly referred to as "soul". Or maybe they just can't handle music that dares to step outside of the hackneyed, commercial, ordinary, pablum-pretty...oh, but now I'm ranting. This is wonderful music, great writing, masterpiece stuff. Your a-r engineer friends might complain about the production on the CD. Hmmm. Just ignore the complaints, as people like this will turn a tone-deaf ear to JCP, anyway.
