Weather Vane

Product Description
Nicky Mehta is that singular artist who combines poignant, thoughtful lyrics, soaring melodies, and inventive guitar-work with an equally moving, confident performance. "With a pure, effortless alto voice and a poetry rare among her peers" she can "lead us into some deep waters without making us feel that we are about to drown." As a songwriter, she is a consummate artist who finds joy and hope in the most unexpected places, and as a performer, she gives herself over completely to her audience with intensity, passion, and wit.

She has built an audience of loyal fans over the years and with the release of her new full-length solo CD Weather Vane, she is sure to win the allegiance of many, many more.

Jimmy's Swinging Forecast.......2000-09-24

"Theme" albums are always a bit worrisome because they can be contrived...trying to fit some charts together that perhaps don't fit very naturally. But this 1958 set by a Jimmy Rowles led septet of west coast studio notables is an exception. 10 charts (and 2 alternative takes) that all have something to do with the weather (The Breeze and I, Let It Snow...get the point?) arranged by Rowles and Bill Holman, dean of the west coast swing sound in the 50's. The playing is tight featuring sidemen like Mel Lewis, Holman, Herb Geller etc. The arrangements are generally good but compared to other outings by these guys (or similar groups led by Dave Pell and others) this one just doesn't swing as hard. Recommended but not Rowles best.

Seriously............2007-04-25

Intense, poetic, complex, intelligent and passionate are all good words to describe the eleven songs on this album. I imagine they'd also be good words to describe Nicky herself, who injects so much of herself into her songs that it's hard to separate the artist from the art. And art it is, without doubt. Nicky's lyrics are original and vibrant. And not a cliche to be heard. Her voice can be bold and strident, or like a whisper in your ear, and it carries emotion like a superconductor.

Weather Vane's themes encompass loss, transformation, hope - the learning that comes from living in the world and trying to make sense of it all. Though the melodies are beautiful, it's not easy listening. It's an album you need to sit down and pay attention to. If you're not in reflective mood when you start, you soon will be.

Notable tracks for me include Row Him Home, Fireflies, The Reckoning and the almost unbearably poignant Truly - one of the saddest, most beautiful songs I've ever heard. This is a great album by an artist who is only now beginning to gain recognition outside Canada (thanks to the Wailin' Jennys). And while I truly hope she continues with the Jennys for many more years, I hope that another solo album is on the agenda too.
