Broomtree
Transparent
Reviewed by Amanda Nelson
Transparent is a cool rock CD. Lead singer Kylie has no problem carrying the vocals; she has a nice pure quality to her voice. The overall sound is excellent with a good rock balance; plenty of songs that hard fans will really like and a few ballads. If you liked their first album, you should feel the same way about this one; it's definitely a step in the right direction for Broomtree. The band puts on a great performance; Brian on guitar, Jonathan on bass and Rusty on drums. There is a lot of variety on this album with the addition of some musicians on several songs. Drew Powell steps in on bass in "Reckless," "Shattered," and "Human After All," and Marc Byrd plays acoustic guitar on "For Dear Life." Overall, a great second album for Broomtree.\
