SAME OLD SLIPPERS - Inspirational and Excellently-Crafted Progressive Folk CD

Same Old Slippers is an inspirational and excellently-crafted progressive folk album from singer/songwriter Judy Fjell. Judy is a Unitarian-Universalist lay minister, and her songs reflect her liberal yet religious disposition. Practicing what she preaches, Same Old Slippers is filled with eighteen solid, spiritual, upbeat, thought- provoking, and heartfelt folk songs about positivity and love, in hopes of a better tomorrow. Judy delivers a great vocal performance to compliment her great acoustic folk arrangements, and her overall sound is reminiscent of Malvina Reynolds (of Little Boxes fame) and Peter, Paul, and Mary. Same Old Slippers is well-produced, with clean vocals, crisp violin and fine acoustic instrumentation. Oh You Know We Are One is a great opening track as her lyrics cover religion, race, and even animals, as she sings about world unity, giving the listener insight to Judy's world perspective. One Of Us Can Make A Difference has a great violin and acoustic arrangement as Judy argues that, through loving thoughts and positive actions, it only takes three people to change the world. If There Is A God is a controversial track with deep lyrics about Judy's personal religious battle, where which she sings that, God or no God, there is good and grace in this world. Same Old Slippers truly is an inspirational album that asks us to look past our minor discrepancies and realize that we are all the same. Fans of excellent folk music with a thought- provoking and positive message, be sure to pick this one up. Chris &
