Angela Josephine
Daylight
Review by Gary Hill
Some music is really hard to categorize. This release is such music. There are several pieces that are clearly mellower progressive music (if not exactly progressive rock). Others, though, land closer toward roots music. Still, overall, I think the argument can be made to land this under the prog heading, particularly based on the closer. All that said, while this varies quite a bit, the spirit and voice of Angela Josephine is the one unifying factor throughout the set. It's also the biggest selling point of the disc. Josephine has a strong and versatile voice, and every bit of this works to a large degree because of that voice.
