Wool Over

Darn Tough Fish and Game Series X-Wide Merino Wool Over-the-Calf Full Cushion Sock,Charcoal,Large
$22.00
I have diabetes and need a snug fitting sock. I also have athlete's foot. Merino wool breathes and wicks moisture away from the foot which is critical to cure athlete's foot (along with fungal cream). My podiatrist likes this sock. My foot size is 13 wide and I wear an XL sock. Darn Tough Merino Wool socks saved my feet.

A blind purchase based on a few sound clips and enthusiastic customer reviews (are there any other kind here?) is always risky, and this one was a mixed blessing. Ina May Wool is a talented songwriter, literate both musically and emotionally, and an expressive singer whose full potential surely hasn't been realized here except in a few songs.Ms. Wool is at her best when singing about the ups and downs of long-term relationships. "J'ai Gagn��� (I Won)", "January Thaw", and "Leopard" stand out, though only the first does so musically as well as lyrically. "Elephant Learning to Dance" and "Devil You Don't" are also fine relationship songs, though the latter is cutesy with its wordplay. The other material here is less successful, and the final instrumental track with its crackling-record sound seems out of place on a CD that is produced to perfection. "Janis" is just embarrassing. I cringed at the misuse of beatnik slang to evoke the late 60's, at the precious lyrics, at the strained connection between one of Joplin's lesser songs and her persona, and at what was for me a disconnect between the light silly tone of the song and its sad subject matter. Country Joe McDonald's "Janis" remains the song that moves me, though Ms. Wool is a better singer and lyricist in general.I disregarded what I read about this CD having been produced by a Broadway musician, but as someone who wouldn't be caught dead with the soundtrack from a Broadway show (not that there's anything wrong with that!), I was a bit put off by tracks that sounded show tune-ish. Don't be misled by the downloads or the notice that people who like Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Kathleen Edwards, Tift Merritt, the Be Good Tanyas, and Rosanne Cash bought this CD. I'm a fan of all those singers/songwriters, but Ina May Wool is certainly not alt-country. Perhaps alt-Broadway at times. I could imagine her benefitting from more exposure to those alt-country songwriters if she could stand it, though. Perhaps a sabbatical hanging out with them, or with a Guy Clark or Don Schlitz who's learned over the decades to craft songs perfectly and to use words sparingly. I think there are mediocre and good songs here that could have been masterpieces if they'd been treated as rough drafts and perfected over the years, bounced off lots of other songwriters and audiences before being recorded. Or perhaps they were, to great acclaim, and my tastes just aren't broad enough to encompass what others here seem to find a brilliant body of work.Overall, I agree with the one negative review below (not with its rather savage tone) that while there are great moments here, the quality of the songs is inconsistent, and that a purchase based solely on what can be downloaded here might lead to disappointment, unlike a purchase based on those who go to hear Ina May Wool sing all her material in person. She may well be a consistently great performer, but if so it isn't captured on this often-bland CD. She is obviously capable of being an exceptional lyricist as well as vocalist, and perhaps future efforts will be more consistent. If not, having written and performed the brilliant and exuberant "J'ai Gagn���" is a greater accomplishment than most could hope for.
