All of Our Names

All of Our Names follows Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer's 2000 debut, You Were Here, which was justifiably lauded and made her a star in her homeland. The new album is a set of finely honed and equally engaging songs. After the friendly mid-tempo opener and its tale of roaming the countryside in winter, she fearlessly kicks up the decibel meter with the smartly propulsive "Almost", presenting a lustful crush with appropriate passion and the wallop of a rocker. Throughout it all, Harmer has a gifted eye for the small details that give human scale and resilience to the lyrics. The sense of place evoked is unmistakably linked to her home in Ontario's Quaker Valley and, perhaps not surprisingly, All of Our Names was primarily recorded there. The album has all the breadth and depth of a work created in a big-city studio, but it also exudes a warmth and intimacy that can be attributed to the care and comfort afforded by the setting. --David Greenberger, Amazon.com
