Guide Review - Lisa O'Kane - Peace of Mind
With a melody similar to the classic Ricky Nelson song “Travelin’ Man,” “No Tomorrow is a wonderful intro track. Lisa’s voice has a rich quality to it that is similar to Irene Kelley and Kathy Mattea. The classic Fred Rose song “Foggy River” is next and is a tastefully done update. “Settle Down” has a jovial, traditional country sound to it that is so infectious that you’ll wanna grab a dancin’ partner and go cut a rug to it. “Peace Of Mind” is the kind of lyrical gem that any country artist would fight to have. It’s also one of the four songs Lisa Co-wrote for this CD. The elegant “A Room Up For Rent” is backed by a sparse acoustic guitar and cello. The song, a reflection on lost love, showcases Lisa’s emotive voice. “Softer Place To Fall” has a nice melody and strong vocals to accompany lyrics about how we should react to life.
“Everyone Says Goodbye” helps round out a pleasant sophomore release for Lisa O’Kane. Strong lyrics, vocals, melodies and production make “Peace Of Mind” a CD a treat to hear. Fans of traditional country with a touch of folk styled songs should check it out.
