MINNIE DRIVER: SEASTORIES

Actress and singer Minnie Driver is a conformist musician

Friday May 2,2008

By Robert Spellman

DRIVER’S take on first-person soul-baring is better traced back to Emmylou Harris than Joni Mitchell.

The singer/actress seems hell-bent on rootsy conformity rather than plunging into the unknown, as Mitchell used to do.

*** BUY THIS CD NOW! ***

The songs aren’t bad, though not particularly hooky, and Driver’s voice frays nicely on cue to Ryan Adams’s backing band, The Cardinals.

OUR VERDICT: 3/5
(Rounder)
