The Last Wild Place Anthology
2006

REVIEWS FROM THE ORIGINAL LAST WILD PLACE:

The title tune to Lacy’s new CD is one of the most gorgeous pieces of acoustic music I’ve ever heard. Gut-string guitar notes shower around her like silver raindrops. Her voice remains a thing of perfect eloquence, wonder and personality. The whole album feels like a letter from an old friend. She’s now based in Reno, which in my opinion is a great loss to Nashville.

Lacy J. Dalton's "The Last Wild Place" proves what fans have known all along: No secular artist blends the spiritual and the physical as movingly, or as profoundly, as Dalton. In singing about a race horse with the heart of a champion ("She Could Run"), Dalton underscores the best of her 25-year career.  Obviously, this pure-hearted singer--who has long straddled the country/folk line--has legs, too.

I bought this after sampling it on CDBaby cos I thought it sound real good. What a misjudgement. It is nothing short of BRILLIANT. The years have developed Lacy's voice into one of the very best female singers anywhere anytime. I do not want to wait so long for her next album. Oh, by the way, fantastic songs to boot.

The Last Wild Place is one of the best CD's I've heard in years. The music is not only great to listen to - but the songs themselves strike a very special chord, ranging from the title track to others such as Listen to the Wind, the Wanderers and Boundless Skies. Without question, this CD is a great addition to any collection!

I am a new convert to Lacy Dalton. I bought this album after sifting through many on-line music stores and listening to a myriad of short soundclips from various artists looking for that great new CD find for my father who owns absolutely everything. I had heard of Lacy before but never bought anything of hers. This is an excellent album regardless of your musical tastes. I bought one not only for my dad but for me, my sister, my uncle... Well worth it!

I purchased this CD before it even came out. Lacy J. Dalton has been my favorite female country singer for many years. I believe this may be her best album ever! Listen to the Wind, Heart of Hearts, Standin' Knee Deep, Slip Away and Sanctuary are my favorites, but all 12 cuts are really good. This lady can really sing and her band can really play! You won't be sorry if you purchase this CD! There is nothing else out there like it. Lacy is really one of a kind, with the most distinctive voice in the industry.

If there was ever a cd to sell it's self then The Last wild Place is it.

This largely acoustic album is pure musical joy from start to finish. Lacy J. Dalton has made what is possibly the best album of her entire career. With a voice like hers nobody would ever mistake Dalton for being somebody else in country music, that's for sure! The songs, most of which she cowrote, are a mixture of country and spiritual offerings. The tracks are filled with heartfelt lyrics, but it is the subdued acoustic setting that makes her voice stand out very strong in the end. A very satisfying experience all along.
