Amazon.com

On her first studio album since 2001's Clock Without Hands, Nanci Griffith hearkens back to her best early albums, particularly the Jim Rooney-produced work of the '80s. Whereas her '90s music veered off into arch or uncomfortable pairings with lofty-minded producers and members of U2 and R.E.M., here she takes stock and strives for, as the title of the leadoff track says, a "Simple Life." Griffith was wise to assume the lead as her own producer (with Pat McInerney), scaling back to a more organic, folk-singer approach ("Last Train Home," a 2002 song which appears here, would have fit well on her first Philo albums) and reuniting with guest vocalists Mac McAnally ("Rise to the Occasion") and Jimmy Buffett ("I Love This Town"). While the material draws on a variety of influences, Hearts in Mind wraps its thoughts around two themes: Exploring the hopeful beauty of the romantic heart, and honoring soldiers and civilians lost in the wreckage of war ("Heart Of Indochine"; "Old Hanoi"; "Big Blue Ball of War"; and the exquisitely sad, Julie Gold-penned "Mountain of Sorrow," inspired by the events of 9/11). Throughout, Griffith stretches herself as an artist: "Beautiful," a tribute to her stepfather, marks a lively, clarinet-accented departure from her usual repertoire, while only her delivery lifts "When Ted Loved Sylvia," Le Ann Etheridge's intriguing take on the relationship between Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath, above its lyrical shortcomings. The singer makes fine use of her lower register at times, and continues to push for a fuller voice than the feathery vocals that marred her freshman efforts. The end result is her most accessible album in years, one that deeply satisfies on both a musical and an emotional level. --Alanna Nash

4 out of 5 stars A Balance of Hearts and Minds.......2007-05-02

Nanci Griffith walks a find line on her politically oriented "Hearts in Mind." She is, like so many entertainers, struck by the events of and since 9/11, and she intertwines her songs about "every soldier and every civilian lost to the horrors of war" (the album's dedication) with songs about the joy of ongoing life. Instead of throwing the gauntlet of Iraq center stage, she colors with the memories of Viet Nam. It gets the point across during "Heart Of Indochine" in a subtle manner. As does the CD opener, "Simple Life."

"I don't want your wars to take my children,
I want a simple life while I am here."

Julie Gold's "Mountain of Sorrow" is just as remarkably subtle, as Gold reflects on waking up in New York City September 11th, 2001 to knocking at her door of a grief stricken neighbor. "Easy come, easy go...anything but easy, though." Griffith delivers the line as she once did for Gold's call for peace, "From A Distance." (Funny how it's another song for peace written under another Bush Gulf conflict.)

"Hearts in Mind" is balanced by several songs dealing with family and pride. "Beautiful" is Nanci's tribute to her grandfather and finds her indulging in some jazzy singing. Jimmy Buffet chimes in on the silly "I Love This Town" (why wasn't this a hit?) to add some levity, and old friend Mac MacAnally joins Nanci on "Rise To The Occasion." Both the serious and the cheery roll off the CD at an easy pace. If you are a fan of Nanci's or the likes of Patty Griffin, Casey Chambers of The Dixie Chicks, you'll find a lot to enjoy with Nanci's "Hearts In Mind."

5 out of 5 stars Should be 10 stars.......2007-04-02

If you are old enough to remember the Vietnam War, in which I served, this CD will haunt you. Her songs and her voice make this my favorite CD by Nanci, and I have all of them. Terrific CD at a great price.

4 out of 5 stars Almost A Fiver........2007-02-08

A Great Album, That Almost Comes To The Very Top. Still Very Good.

5 out of 5 stars Hearts in Mind.......2006-06-30

This was probably not Nanci's very best, but I am very glad I bought it. She is a true artist.

3 out of 5 stars Mellow Vocals, Mediocre Songs.......2006-05-26

It's a bit country, a bit folk and a bit of pop but the best thing going for it is the quality of the voice and the singing of the songs. The songs themselves are nothing to brag about. There is nothing wrong with them but they are to my mind "bulk items". By that I mean the songs used to flesh out the single hit on an album. In this case, though, that is all there is.

That being said, she is a good singer and has some fine singing guests. Her musicians are good too. Its just the songs that are wanting.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

        Album Description

        THE NAME
        The name Charlus was derived from a character out of a certain novel, drawn by a certain writer who spent his share behind a wall, the kind that exists both in the mind and at the asylum. Can you guess who it is? The name was taken to draw the line that exists at the fringes, and illustrate those souls who exist on the furthest edge, like lonely birds of prey high up on a cliff ward precipice. Throughout literature there is no one, who better serves up that paltry meal than our namesake, The Baron Von Charlus. No more hints, that¹s all you get. The name Charlus also implies a state of mind, the infamous character it was taken from, was notorious for the social impression he made and the impact of his personality on friends and foes, made a lasting mark. Although he was an introvert, he wore his power like a loud, brilliant orange flower pinned to a smart topcoat. He was complicated and the image he showed upon first meeting a new and desirable person often conflicted with the man he would reveal to you in private rooms. The more the layers are peeled off, the more diverse and interesting the picture becomes-I aspire to have the music of Charlus mean the same.

        THE SONGS
        The songs were created by Daniel; who worked with various great musicians, mostly people who are not very big fans of the music found on the airwaves today. People who would rather live with their talents unrecognized, if that must be the case, than play a role that the industry deems necessary in order to sell records. With the effulgence of perfect blow-up dolls, lip-synching their way to the top of the charts or even worse, those who cut and paste other peoples synthetic inventions, then call themselves innovative, there has never been a greater need than right now, for honest, earthy songwriters, who are called only by the voice of truth. We need them to come along and save the sad, who are locked in their bedrooms attempting to save their soul. Today is very much like the time in recent history when truly awful bands, embarrassingly trite and silly, dominated the airwaves and gave us, supplied us, with only unbelievable nonsense. Right now, people, especially the young and impressionable are drowning in the media that is pumped into them and most don¹t even know how badly in need of air they are. Stuffed already to the choking limit, they are being force-fed on nihilistic music television, whether its with electronic beats, generated by a machine, or hypocritical song writers who don¹t live any of the life they so righteously sing about in their acoustic ballads, all your getting is an impossible image that¹s sickening our culture. We have criminals and models to look up to, to take refuge in, when the world is not treating us fairly. That, to me, is frightening. Where are the underlying themes of morality and principle? I assure you it is nowhere to be found in modern radio. If you found us, most likely, you are ready to hear the original voice of a man and not a calculated product created by a machine. I don¹t claim I can save the world of music, but I will certainly try in my own way. My only motivation is to write the words of the universal, and sing them with the conviction, only attained by someone who believes in faith and has the faith to believe, that it is not wrong to want more, to expect more, from not only life, but from Art itself. I recognize as an Artist, I hold great power and I understand the responsibility that goes with it. It does not inflate me in anyway. My intentions speak volumes, because it is not wealth, it is not to feed a monstrous ego, that inspires me to pursue a public podium, it is only to put the scales back in balance, by fighting the good fight. Godspeed. --Daniel

        5 out of 5 stars Simply the best music I have heard for a long time.......2004-04-13

        First off all, Lyrically, these songs are right up there with the best in pop music. Completely unpretentious, unpredictable, romantic, outragous...In a nutshell, very rich and textured. Great singing. Great sounds, covering a full spectrum from wild (Suicide Transvestite) to desperate longing (My Design Is Not My Own). It has been a while since I fell for a band and I can honestly say I am head over heels for Charlus. I cant wait for them to make another record!
