With this follow-up to 2002's Love and China, the thematically adventurous Massachusetts-based duo turns its songwriting and trilling sisterly harmonies toward the uncertain, often tumultuous world of female adolescence. The Nields sisters occasionally get a trifle erudite on songs like "Plastic Angel" and "The Day I Let Glory Steer." They are more successful when they grapple more viscerally with the perils of teenage intimacy ("When I Let You into My Closet") or the struggle for personal liberation from small-town minds (title tune). And when they deliver a tour de force like the affirming country ballad "When I'm Here," their intertwined voices ring not only with occasional anger and well-aimed sarcasm, but also empathy and passion. --Bob Allen

5 out of 5 stars another nields gem.......2005-08-29

This album is another gem and a deserving follow up to Nerissa and Katryna Nields' classic "Love and China". Nerissa's tales of life and growing up are mesmerizing.

The soaring, Nieldsy harmonies at the end of the album's opening song "The Day I Let Glory Steer" blew me away the first time that I heard them and are still blowing me away well over a year later. "Glory" holds special meaning for this father of a 4 year old girl.

I'm guessing that everyone who hears this album will find a song which holds some special meaning for them, too.

4 out of 5 stars More Nields is good news.......2004-03-29

As has been said before, the songs on _This Town Is Wrong_ relate to Nerissa's book of the same name. I don't think each song is by a different character (as I first thought when I read reviews), but rather the songs are by different characters, and some have more than one. Not that it makes any difference. You can enjoy the album without having read the book or even knowing about it. The sisters go back to their rocking days, and the album sounds more like the Nields band than the duo's release. The country influence is still there, even stronger on songs like "When I'm Here" and "Sara, With Your Ring" and present, but in more country-folk format on other songs. Overall it's grown and continues to grow on me, though the roughness the sisters' voices sometimes have grates on me a bit more than usual. I'm happy to have a whole album full of their insights on teenagers (from the perspective of both teenagers and adults.) The Nields have brought us so many great songs about teenagers (much of _Gotta Get Over Greta_ springs to the top of my head; there are many others) it seems like they're the right people to do it. Right now it's my least favorite of any of the Nields releases I've heard, but considering how much I love their music, it's the difference between a "B" and an "A." I still like _This Town Is Wrong_ a lot and heartily recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars how to get out of the winter blues.......2004-01-30

The first best cd of 2004 has to be Katryna and Nerissa Nields'
This Town is Wrong. The writing is expansive, use of language and imagery keeps you listening to each song. The sisters outdo themselves in harmonies, the production of the cd suits the material.. it is highly listenable, enjoyable, and a great second effort by these New England Based singer songwriters..

5 out of 5 stars this town rocks.......2004-01-21

The Nields sisters have outdone themselves this time. You don't have to know that the album is the soundtrack to a book to enjoy this wonderful set of songs, but the background enhances the experience even more. The songs on the album were supposedly written by two different characters in the book, yet somehow Nerissa has managed to make it completely clear which are which. And the sibling harmonies have never sounded more beautiful.

Dave Chalfant is one of the most exciting producers out there today. This is the most gorgeous sounding album yet from any incarnation of the Nields, with sounds we haven't heard in their work before.

A must-buy!!!

5 out of 5 stars I can't wait for the book!!!.......2004-01-17

The Nields sisters have done it again! Nerissa is such an amazing songwriter, and as always, Nerissa and Katryna's harmonies lift the spirit. The album goes with Nerissa's upcoming book of the same title, about two teenage girls. You don't need to know the book to enjoy the album, but each song is by one of the characters in the book. This will make it really fun when the book comes out next fall. I can't wait. In the meantime, I will have something to tide me over.

        Album Description

        The follow-up to Naomi Ashley's EP "Love and Other Crap", "Small Town Thing" is a delightful mix of soul-searching country ballads, heavy hitting rockers and laid back acoustic numbers. Naomi's songs, heartfelt, hilarious, sad and strange are wrapped up into catchy country melodies that you can't help but sing-a-long to.

        Customer Reviews:

        5 out of 5 stars Very good album even if you don't like country.......2004-01-06

        This album is great. Weather you're a country fan or a non-country music fan such as myself, you'll love this. It's a little more upbeat than most country, has a bluegrass feel to it and it also contains some very funny songs. This chick is going to be big some day.

        5 out of 5 stars Tellin' a Story.......2002-09-20

        This CD is an amazing follow up to Naomi's 1st, Love & Other Crap...This one is full of songs you can't stop singing! Naomi's voice has such a range of good old country to sexy and low down...it's beautiful! And every song tells a story that the listener can relate to, even the funny ones! I highly recommend this CD! Buy two, 1 for you and 1 for your friend, they'll thank you! And if you get a chance to see her live, even better!

        5 out of 5 stars It Kicked ..........2002-08-29

        This cd is all over it. So often when you buy a cd you're lucky to get one or two decent songs you like. This cd has 12 in a row and not one bad one in the bunch. They cover every end of the spectrum, "The Other Woman" has such a great country groove, "Cry Out of This City" rocks your world, and the acoustic numbers are just plain AWESOME. Check out the fancy picking on "Tell Your Jesus", that guy must have 8 fingers on his picking hand. This album is an absolute must have!!
