Magical Blend Issue #49 November 1995 By Susan Warrick Blue Apples is the third album recorded by Washington, D.C. area, acoustic/pop chanteuse Vicky Pratt Keating. Originally, self-released on a local label in 1993, this new version offers some tasty remixes and updated packaging from Prime-CD. Keating's hauntingly beautiful, sometimes ethereal voice is accompanied by her folk guitar in a style reminiscent of such venerable artists as Buffy St. Marie, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell. Formerly a rock singer, Vicky has made the transition back to her acoustic roots with soulful style and grace, and her music evokes images of coffeehouses and poetry readings. The multi-layered, original ballads project the aura of a powerful and independent woman, thoughtfully observing life in today's world. Blue Apples is certain to gain national attention and acclaim. |
