Jack Ingram: Big Dreams & High Hopes (August 25, 2009)

Big Dreams & High Hopes

“Seeing Stars [is] a gorgeous acoustic song with Ingram playing the hopeless romantic astronomer. With touching and meaningful lyrics like ‘wishing on stars only when you see em’ is like asking God for help only when you need him,’ it’s a winner. The absolute highlight of the album, however, is Patty Griffin singing harmony behind Ingram on [Seeing Stars]. She’s heavenly.” – Click here for full review.

“The biggest surprise of the album is the poignant ‘Seeing Stars’ featuring the vocals of Patty Griffin on a track Ingram wrote with Chris Tompkins. The voices of Jack Ingram and Patty Griffin provide glorious harmony in an understated performance that has a quiet intensity that builds to a crescendo at the end of the cut.” – From CountryChart.com.

“This album rocks from start to finish, with memorable moments, including the ingenious pairing of his gritty, raw vocals with those of the angelic-voiced Patty Griffin on the shimmering ballad ‘Seeing Stars.’” – From CaliforniaChronicle.com.  Click here for the full review.
