There is something assuring and hopeful upon hearing the music of this Chicago-based musician. Drawing from the similar sound and temperament of Shawn Colvin and Jonatha Brooke, Peacock makes music that is warm and intimate to say the least. Nearly all of the songs on her new self-titled album ring true that are times uplifting and sometimes bringing down one to earth. Peacock's breathy, almost reedy vocals support her wistful sounding songs, whose standouts include "Leading With My Heart," the exuberant "Imagination," the tender piano ballad of "Some Things Get Lost," and the upbeat "Into the Light." Is this enough to bring this folk rock artist out of obscurity? For anyone seeking real music, let's hope so. |
