Drinking Watermelon Sugar (Pound)
by Scott Hefflon

Tara VanDevender has a breathy, baby voice similar to Mary Lou Lord, but she’s got a band behind her that provides more than an excuse to put out a record. There are songs here with melody and contrast between the sweet and, well, the very sweet. Excessive sugar doesn’t please my buds, but there are plenty of people whose tastes tend to be less bitter than mine.
