[Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand] Early in her career, Victoria Williams showed snatches of scattershot brilliance amidst an occasionally maddening amount of clutter. But upon marrying ex- Mark Olson and moving to a ranch in Joshua Tree, California, the singer-songwriters newfound serenity and sense of place blossomed into a minor masterpiece: 1998s sweeping yet intimate Musings of a Creekdipper spoke frankly of mortality and the reassurance of love, family, and faith. Water to Drink mostly melds the down-home folksiness of her Creek Dippers side project with her own expressive jazzy pop, but she isnt shy about stretching out into funk (Junk) and even bossa nova (the title track is an Anglicized cover of s Agua de Beber). Love and affirmation are again overriding themes, as titles such as You Can Be, Joy of Love, and A Little Bit of Love attest. While Water to Drink is by no means a better album than its predecessor, its more fun: Williams revels in these songs and the giddy, girlish covers of Until the Real Thing Comes Along and Young at Heart. That said, the best songs here are the quirky character studies, especially Gladys and Lucy. --Anders Smith-Lindall
