Myra Holder "Four Mile Road" 1989

Way back when this album was new they played some tracks on WEGL and I had to buy the CD. It has been one of my favorite all-time CDs to listen to over the years. I love Ms. Holder's voice - she easily stands with my other favorites of Suzanne Vega, Sarah McLachlan, a Aimee Mann. My absolute favorite track here is "Blue Moon" - I always imagined the day I could have a child to sing this to and now I do. Thank you, Ms. Holder, for this gift of an album. - Eric RichardsI agree that this is a pretty great album. I have no idea why Myra never released another one. She played around a little after this came out (Maxwell's, CBGB, a few others). I kinda lost track after that. She wrote some really beautiful, whistful pop songs--"Rosa" is a good example--and I always liked her voice a lot. She had that same sort of sort of unaffected, guileless thing going that you hear from Georgia Hubley of Yo La Tengo. There's a purity there that's sadly lacking in a lot of pop music these days. - Bob Dobolinamembers:
