Guide Review - CD Review

Singer/songwriter Alison Kitchen’s debut CD, Mercy Dancing, has a Joni Mitchell flavor throughout mixed with Celtic overtones. Her own talent as a guitar player, as well as a group of excellent musicians, give a strong musical backing to the well-produced tracks and her vocals, while strong, don’t overpower the music. Acoustic Driven Faith would have been a good alternate title to the project, as her love for our Savior shines brightly through the mellow, relaxing sounding musical score. My favorite songs on the CD are For Rachel and Courts of the Lord, which brings background vocals that sound like a full choir. Song in the Night, another top pick, brings us jazz phenomenon, Christian Howes, who plays violin on several of the tracks.
