If Earth & Sky, the compilation that was Laurie Lewis's Rounder debut, served to showcase her bluegrass roots, Seeing Things finds her breaking new musical ground. To be sure, there's still plenty of fiddle, mandolin, and high lonesome harmonies to be found here, and Lewis's respect for traditional music shines through. But these songs range all over the musical map, from the lilting Norteño swing of "I'll Take Back My Heart" to the sly, bass-driven shuffle of "Kiss Me Before I Die." Tom Russell's haunting "Manzanar" tells the story of Japanese internment during World War II, while Darol Anger grows a "forest of fiddles" (as the liner notes put it) around Lewis's lovely, clear soprano on the traditional "The Blackest Crow." Lewis has always been a hard artist to pigeonhole, gracefully moving between musical genres as different as bluegrass, jazz, gospel, and traditional folk. With Seeing Things, she establishes herself as a powerful, diverse singer/songwriter who deserves a much wider audience. --Mary Park

Customer Reviews of Seeing Things
California singer-songwriter with heart and style I have been a fan of Laurie Lewis for 20 years, when I first heard her playing bass and singing with the Good Ol' Persons. She continues to amaze me with her versatility, her depth and her heart. Some of her songs are about love, life, and other universals, some about specifics in her life,about home and her own experiences. Esp. treats in this album are"Kiss Me Before I Die" written after a serous accident in '94 and 3 cuts with Kathy Kallick singing harmony. Laurie is a superb fiddle player - she also is backed by very talented people, including the incomparable Nina Gerber. The only reason this isn't a "5" for me is that I do have a favorite Lewis song - and that was already recorded years ago.
