Following up on If You Lived Here You"d Be Home Now, their masterful 2000 album, New England sisters Nerissa and Katryna Nields, lead vocalists of the Nields, decided to leave the rest of the band at home. Left to their own devices, the duo"s lilting sibling harmonies and Nerissa"s intelligent songwriting keep the sisters anchored in the familiar territory of searching folk-pop ballads and midlife laments such as "Yesterday"s Girl," "The Sweetness," "All These Years," and the title tune. Yet they also slip into a delightful, Yankee-inflected country mode on cuts like the honky-tonkish "Love Me One More Time" and the twangy "He Loves the Road." The instrumental arrangements, courtesy of a handful of guest musicians, are not as vividly crafted or provocative as those served up by the full Nields band on the last album, but the sisters" bold harmonies and Nerissa"s passionately introspective songwriting more than carry the day. --Bob Allen
