Taking it`s name from the foothills of Melbourne`s Dandenong range, Cyndi Boste fourth release is simultaneously her most diverse and her most retro. Taking her songwriting cues from her childhood experiences in those foothills, Boste muses on the frustrations of youth, love on the rocks and the woes and small rewards of the youthfully enthusiastic working musician. Unlike her previous releases, Boste has cast her tales decidedly into the traditional country/folk/blues/gospel sound that was prominent on the radio when she was growing up. Her honey-rich voice along with excellent backing and thoughtful production make Boste`s fourth release a dandy, indeed. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Sound Valley Records)
