'The Waiting Place,' new music from Calee Reed

When Calee Reed lets go with her big, hearty, infectious
laugh, you can't help but laugh along.  And when she sings
of joy or of holding on through heartbreak, it's hard not to feel
that you know exactly what she means.  I guess that's the
beauty of "The Waiting Place," the new album of songs that marks
Reed's recording debut.


With imaginative pairings of familiar hymns and lots of
originals, Calee Reed hits the mark nearly every time.  Her
runaway success of a music video (which you can see here) shows a
gift for finding the divine in the mundane and the everyday; the
perspective that suddenly snaps everything trivial into it's
proper proportion when something really important is suddenly at
stake.





That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull.
