Cailyn/Dani
True Lies and Other Fairy Tales
Review by Gary Hill
They brought it on themselves. By billing this CD as progressive rock Cailyn/Dani (Cailyn Lloyd and Dani Daly) set themselves up to have it judged in that light. Do I consider this album to be prog? Barely. Enough so that, combined with their listing it as such I’ll include it in that section. Truth be told, though, this is a pretty cool album. The production on the vocals is the main thing that holds it back as often times they just feel flat (production wise, not in terms of notes) and in need of some power. The disc is mostly covers and the covers are quite cool and creative for the most part. I look forward to hearing more from this duo as this is a good start that shows promise.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2009 Volume 4 at lulu.com/strangesound.
