Comments:

This ep has some strong songs and Kristin Davis's country-tinged vocal is a delight to hear. "Ready" is a hopeful song with a wonderful melody. "Too Shy" is a celebration of the quiet ones, and as such it's poignant and sweet. The guitar line is upbeat and the vocal lovely. "Sparks (a morning song)" closes the ep on a good note, a sunny and melodious song that shows the band's dexterity. It's a fine ep in all. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
