..."Girl
Talk", which was produced at Old Plank Sonic Labs in Naperville, Illinois,
hosts a wide variety of styles. With the addition of four new instruments,
one might think the girls have abandoned their original sound entirely,
but not so. Throughout the CD, The Wicks manage to maintain their original
acoustic roots while at the same time interjecting a sound definitely
influenced by good ol' rock and roll, as well as a touch of jazz, and
even a tinge of gospel.
Definitely
an eclectic blend that holds true to their belief in creating music without
style limitations. Infectious melodies along with strong harmonies, which
have always been their trademark, remain present throughout the CD. But,
now fused with additional instruments, their sound takes on a stronger
more powerful feeling. Those of you familiar with seeing the duo play
live, will no doubt hear the difference and feel the growth spurt with
every song. Songs such as "Maybe", written as a ballad, remains a ballad
with acoustic guitar main stage, but has been transformed by the energy
of the electric guitar.
