Reviews Customer Reviews for Didn T It Feel Kinder      Pivotal Amy Ray album      Rating:      Crafting simple harmony, while unveiling her emotional soul, Amy Ray has always embraced broadening her musical horizon. In my opinion, "Didn't It Feel Kinder" is Amy's best album to date, and it's highly infectious. I guarantee that for many this album will slowly work its magic. In the first track, "Birds of a Feather", the sonorous lead guitars blend seamlessly with a hypnotic beat that draws the listener in, and in its simplicity forces us to focus on the lyrics. The second song, "She's Got to Be", deals with gender identity and self-acceptance - sung in a torch-song style that is definitely a stark departure from Amy's earlier strident work. "Bus Bus" pulsates with an infectious pop rhythm and percussive lyrics that play with alliteration, resonating with the ebb and flow of the subsonic bass. "Stand and Deliver" delivers a simple, gorgeous melody that builds to an uplifting finale. The lyrics work not only on a personal level as a heartfelt monologue to one's lover, but globally as well. How can a caring person embrace the inevitable emotional vulnerability in a hurtful world? How can we break through the defensive hostility that hides our fear and offer the most of ourselves to make this world a better place? The finale, "Rabbit's Foot", poetically affirms the album title, and is a natural sequel to "Stand and Deliver": "Didn't you feel kinder, when you were walking beside her? Didn't you feel stronger when you let love grow? Didn't it open you up inside? Hey let love abide." There is not a single piece in this album that hasn't gotten under my skin and into my soul. I recommend it very highly.     Customer Reviews for Didn T It Feel Kinder Cd      Amy Ray Sings with Power      Rating:      Amy Ray has been a mainstay of the Indigo Girls for many years. At first I was sceptical about her solo recordings. Didn't It Feel Kinder is a great album, filled with passion, poetry, and powerful lyrics. I recommend this CD to anyone who likes a little heavier rock music combined with Amy's gifted musical talents.
