Reviews Customer Reviews for Swamp Ophelia      Excellent, solid album      Rating:      Probably the best album that this group has put out. All of the tracks are decent and it pulls you through from beginning to end. Worth your money.     Customer Reviews for Swamp Ophelia Cd      There's life down below me, though      Rating:      I like a few of the songs off this CD, but it is by far their best effort. For me it was very much same song, second verse. I appreciate that their laid back lyrical style has persisted over decades, now, but beyond about three tracks on this CD, I found it boring. Just not for me. Editorial Reviews for Swamp Ophelia Audio Cd      Amazon.com essential recording      Reflecting the growth Amy Ray and Emily Saliers experienced during the late '80s and early '90s as songwriters and as performers, Swamp Ophelia finds the duo feeling more experimental, and also more relaxed. Guests like Lisa Germano (violin, mandolin), Jane Scarpantoni (cello), and Jane Siberry (vocals) assist in creating a satisfying and full sound. Songs like the romantic "Power of Two" and Amy's solo venture "Fare Thee Well" would do Jackson Browne proud. The Roches add a lovely vocal layer to "Reunion," and bongos and percussion give the bouncy "Least Complicated" an interesting texture. The darker tones of "Dead Man's Hill," with its haunting melodica and tom-toms, provide needed contrast to the lighter moods in the collection. Their harmonies are a delight, and the closer, "This Train (Revised)," is a wonderful, energetic nod to Woody Guthrie.--Lorry Fleming
