Cedar Lane is the second studio album from American singer and multi-instrumentalist Mindy Jostyn, released by Palmetto in 1997. [2]
In a contemporary review, Nick Cristiano of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote: "Jostyn offers tongue-in-cheek laments, chronicles boomer realities, tackles topical issues and delves into affairs of the heart from various angles. She covers it all with a delivery that ranges convincingly from quiet country ache to bluesy toughness." [3] Mike Joyce of The Washington Post praised Jostyn's "gift as a writer of dreamy musings, topical essays and torchy ballads" which he felt pointed to "a very promising future" for her. [4]
Jef Scoville of The Christian Science Monitor noted the versatility of the material on Cedar Lane ("blues, folk, pop, talking blues, jazz"), and praised the range of Jostyn's vocals "from little-girl-sweet through bad-girl-growl, innocent and soft, to torchy sizzle". [5]
Charles M. Young, writing for Playboy , wrote: "On Cedar Lane, Jostyn writes songs ranging from hilarious to poignant, sings them with subtle conviction and plays a mean harmonica." [2] Scott Alarik of The Boston Globe considered Jostyn to be one of the "most exciting songwriters to emerge in some time". He commented: "Her funny satires have a knack for making points without pointing fingers; her ballads reveal a poet's aim for life's revealing little moments. Everything is delivered with sparkling musicality and emotional voice." [6]
All tracks are written by Mindy Jostyn and Jacob Brackman except where noted.
