1 out of 5 stars Heh?.......2007-02-28

You won't be my Yoko Ono unless I deserve it? You won't gain a career and fame overnight from absolutely nothing? You won't leverage me to the hilt? I don't pretend to understand, but I suppose I'm not empowered enough.

5 out of 5 stars My least favorite, but Dar still rocks.......2007-01-13

"The Green World" is one of my least favorite Dar Williams CDs. It's not as upbeat or interesting. The best song on the CD is "After All" about growing up. "It Happens Everyday" is about watching the neighborhood children's lives. The rest of the songs on this album are ok, but not worth writing about.

5 out of 5 stars Love this album- Esp "It Happens Every Day".......2007-01-01

I sat down in front of PBS on a Friday night and Dar Williams appeared on Soundstage. I listened to four songs and knew I was listening to someone extremely special. I purchased " The Green World" the next day and listened to it all day.The next day I bought her new album, "The Beauty of the Rain."
Haunting melodies and harmonies. Intelligent,heartfelt lyrics. It took me back 30 years to a dorm room with a copy of Joni Mitchell's "Blue" spinning over and over into the night as we fell asleep. Do yourself a huge favor and buy this album.
It will absolutely become one of your favorites. I'm only upset that I am just now (Nov 2004)finding out about this artist.

3 out of 5 stars Not her best........2003-07-07

I adore Dar Williams. I find her music to be introspective, thoughtful, lyrically beautiful and true-to-life, and musically sound.

This is what I expected from The Green World, but sadly, I was a bit disappointed with this album. While many of the songs (After All, Calling the Moon, We Learned the Sea) are simply beautiful and have excellent lyrics, other songs just don't suit my tastes. This album is very different from Dar's earlier work; it definitely has a more "country" sound to it, which I don't care for. I enjoyed Dar as the folk singer/songwriter she was in the early days, and this CD seems to have lost some of that integrity and eagerness of the earlier albums.

Nevertheless, it's not a terrible CD by any stretch of the imagination, and in the right mood, I do enjoy it. However, it is much different from Dar's other albums, and the potential listener should be aware of this before purchasing this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Listen to this a few times and then decide.......2003-02-26

The Green World was not an album I initially liked much at first, but after a couple years of listening to these songs along side Dar's other albums, I feel that this is her most (with the possible exception of "Mortal City") consistantly good album . There truly is not a bad song on this album. It just took me a while to catch on.
