good + two points
Fire Songs is the full length follow-up to The Watsons Twins' self-released EP. It's a good record. As an avid fan of The Cure, I think they do a great folk version of 'Just Like Heaven.' Standout tracks are opener How Am I To Be? and Only You. If you liked The Watson Twins first EP then you'll certainly enjoy this but if you're looking for a folk record as good as Joni Mitchell's Blue then maybe you'd better set some realistic expectations before giving Fire Songs a spin.

lovely album
... especially like the cover of the Cure's Just Like Heaven. It's country in the way Neil Young is country (i.e., not really)

Great but overly mellow album
The Watson Twins are incredibly talented and this album is a solid purchase for any fan of outstanding songwriting. A special treat is a wonderful cover of a classic love song by The Cure. My only concern with this album is that it is very, very mellow. Other than the opening track and perhaps one other, all songs are slow and somewhat sleepy. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but a bit of variety could have raised the value of what is nonetheless a great album.

Gorgeous
The Watson Twins once again make what was old new again. With shades of the 60s and 70s hovering over all these songs, the Watson Twins bring a new energy to folk/rock and usher it into the 2000s. A must buy for fans of lilting harmonies and intelligent lyrics.

another beautiful album!
the energy of "fire songs" is a bit more vibrant than "southern manners", but the songs are just as gorgeous! the watson twins harmonize like no others and seem to bare their souls through lyrics & melodies.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
