All of Our Names

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer's 2000 debut, You Were Here, was justifiably lauded and it made her a star in her homeland, racking up platinum sales. Four years later she's brought forth an equally engaging set of 11 finely honed 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 recorded primarily at her rural abode. 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

Elegant melodies, well recorded, terrific lyrics.......2006-08-11

Sarah Harmer has a real knack for describing everyday scenes and emotions with a wry humor and sometimes stark realism. The backing of her band lays down unusual, sometimes sparse, sometimes thick underpinnings for the songs that make the whole thing just, ... clean and beautiful. These are songs you don't get tired of. These are songs you enjoy more, and hear more IN, each time you listen to them.

I'm a huge fan of Kathleen Edwards, and I'd still have to give her the nod because she has a bit more ability to spice up her song mix with more rocked up tunes. But this is an excellent CD. I also have "All of Our Names" and, like some other reviewers, don't understand the knocks about this one being a step down. If anything, I like this one more.

Her Voice! Her Voice! Her Voice!.......2006-07-26

Sarah Harmer's voice is so serene and easy to listen to that sometimes I will listen to the same song over and over again. My favorite track is "Almost," because I feel that it really captures a moment and a feeling.

I also think its cool that Harmer records all her music at her house, and that she spends days on ends producing these songs. This is definitely a CD to buy!

Just a little short.......2005-07-30

Well, after falling in love with the album 'You Were Here', I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. After listening through it, I was a little dissappointed. I still think Sarah is one great singer/songwriter, but this album left me longing for something more. I agree with the review that said this album felt like one big song. She has some amazing lyrics, but musically the songs were much too similar for me. It's almost like she didn't want to strecth herself with this CD and kept to familiar themes. I guess 'You were here' will still be the album to beat.

Not the best, but still great.......2005-07-11

I own every Sarah Harmer and weeping tile album ever produced. Sarah is an excellent musician, with great talent. Her songs are heartfelt and strong, and still simple and pleasing. However, All of Our Names is not my favorite of all of her releases. The songs are not as catchy, and they sound more mainstream. There is less definition and fewer differences between the individual songs than on her previous albums. To me, this makes it sound like the whole CD is one song, which I don't like. If you are looking for a mainstream-sounding adult alternative pop album, buy this CD. However, I prefer her older album, You Were Here, because the songs feel stronger and more defined. If you do not own any Sarah Harmer CDs, I would recommend first Buying You Were Here. This is still a great album and should not be missed, but it is not as good as her previous works.

Wonderful.......2005-03-25

Beautiful songs, quietly observant and poingant. The melodies are simple and unfussed. A genius cd.

I could listen to Harmer's lovely voice on a Gibson guitar all day long. It leaves me with the feeling akin to having woken up from really great dream. The songs contain the perfect mix of alt country, pop and folk sensibilites. You may need all your fingers and toes to count the different directions her lyrical musing take you.

Discovered wonderful music.......2005-01-29

Gets some time getting used to her style, but afterwards, you'll wonder how you ever listened to something else - everything else sounds like noise to me now

Sarah fans rejoice!.......2004-06-19

This is an amazing album!!! I first caught wind of it on cbc 'in session' and just fell in love with the peotic lyrics. Support our Canadian artists! Don't download this album, just buy it!

Folk-pop at its finest.......2004-06-04

Forget the other CanRock divas; Sarah Harmer blows them away.

Much of Harmer's songs revolve around life's simple pleasures, like traipsing down country lanes and gathering around the TV for Hockey Night in Canada. Songs are stripped down and laid-back; her lyrics are insightful and vivid. When she sings, she does so with such conviction you can't help but believe she feels every word. The rest of the band is exceptionally talented, perfectly conveying the emotion that Harmer's voice projects.

The lineup for best album of 2004 starts behind All Of Our Names.
