Lover beloved : songs from an evening with Carson McCullers

"Vega's vocal performances are intelligent and skillful throughout, and the largely acoustic arrangements give this music a vintage sensibility without forcing the issue. Lover, Beloved isn't a radical shift from Suzanne Vega's usual body of work, but it does find her stretching a bit from her comfort zone, and she sails gracefully along on this smart and tuneful song cycle".

"Good album from singer-songwriter who should be great - Recent entries in the Vega canon have been lightly themed, Beauty & Crime flittering across the characters and history of New York, for instance. Deriving from an off-Broadway production which she'd previously staged on the life of Carson McCullers, born in 1917 and notable for her novels set in America's Deep South, Lover, Beloved is her most explicitly conceptual album".
