Writing beauty.......2005-08-13

This cd has some of my favorite songs from Kris. All of the songs that made me a fan, in fact.

The writing here is eloquent and poetic. Her themes of love are carefully wrapped inside metaphors that will leave you speechless. I am so amazed at the expression these songs offer. There is an honesty here that will speak directly to your heart. Kris is a master at weaving words.

My favs from this disc: 'Damn Love Song', 'Words Fail You', 'Yellow Brick Road','Broken White Line' and 'Lullaby 101'.

If you are a fan of singer-songwriters then you will love this album.

Always in my cd player.......2003-12-27

I have owned this album for 2 years and it has never left my CD player. Now, Songs for a Hurricane joins it there. Kris Delmhorst is incredible.

I can't stop playing this beauitful CD!.......2003-07-17

Kris Delmhorst stands out from within the "Girls with Guitars" genre as a unique, multi-faceted, wonderful singer and songwriter. Her lyrics are strong and dynamic paired with a natural and lovely voice. That girl plays a ton of instruments and showcases those talents well on songs like "Mean Old Wind." My favorite is "Broken White Line" with its classic-sounding folk-rock nature, well elevated by original story-telling lyrics. Appetite and the older EPs are great; but for a full-fledged, enjoyable album, FIVE STORIES is the way to go. You'll be satisfied from start to finish, and then, like me, you'll press play again and start the whole experience over for another round!

A remarkable folk album from a budding star.......2003-07-15

My husband and I discovered Kris Delmhorst when she opened a Dar Williams show in Alexandria, Va. With her warm voice, catchy tunes and accessible lyrics, it was musical love at first site. I've since bought all her albums and am DYING for the next one to come out. My favorites on this one _ so far her best _ are "Broken White Line," and "Yellow Brick Road." She is right up there with Dar as one of my favorite artists.

Stellar project.......2002-10-31

It's impossible to go wrong buying this CD if you have any interest in singer-songwriters. I think the other reviews here already sum it up nicely, but it should be mentioned that many of the musicians on this album have been seen around Boston in their own successful projects. This includes Catie Curtis and Sean Staples of the Resophonics among many others. This album is well-played and given a sensitive treatment by capable hands. Add Kris's stellar voice and songwriting on top and you've got a great album that's difficult to remove from rotation. Buy without hesitation.
