Album Review

Mattea had vocal-cord surgery that threatened to end her career before she made Lonesome Standard Time, but you couldn't prove it by listening: her voice hasn't lost a bit of its deep alto warmth. Lonesome Standard Time isn't as ambitious as Time Passes By, but it's filled with lovely performances from Mattea's favorite sources: bluegrass ("Lonesome Standard Time"), gospel-influenced country ("Standing Knee Deep in a River (Dying of Thirst)") and Nanci Griffith ("Listen to the Radio").

Customer Reviews

Standing Knee Deep

This is one of Kathy's best albums in my opinion. It is the first album of her's that I ever owned and to this day "Standing Knee Deep In A River (Dying Of Thirst)" remains one of my favorite songs. Other must-have tracks for any Mattea collection are the title track ("Lonesome Standard Time"), "Listen To The Radio", "Amarillo", "38, 45, 78 (Record Time)" & "Seeds".
