Dar Williams is one of my favorite folk artists. I was introduced to her music by a woman I never really knew, had relatively little connection to, no romantic connection to whatsoever, and yet she made me a mix tape which included some of Dar's work. Since then I have been picking up Dar's albums.This is one of her better efforts. You get her sense of humor in "Party Generation", and "Teenagers Kick Our Butts", her sense of poignancy in "If I Wrote You" and "It's a War in There", introspection in "Are You Out There" and "What Do You Hear in These Sounds", friendship in "My Friends", "Road Buddy" and "Better Things" and her views on materialism in "Bought and Sold."I highly recommend this album. If you are familiar with Dar's other works you will love this album and if you are not you will likely discover a love for Dar's works.
