    Rechelle Malin’s new CD, “Secret Songs” proves that she has learned the secret to writing songs that grab the listener and won’t let go. She took her own sweet time finishing this project (six years?) and it shows in the strength of the songs. I haven’t listened to any new CD with over half the tracks being what I would call great songs for years. But this CD is chock full of great songs. Two have previously been covered by nationally touring songwriters. The acoustic arrangements keep the true flavor of these songs of living close to the land. With tender vocals like Emmy Lou Harris and skillful writing like Dar Williams, Rechelle’s CD is pure gold. “Secret Songs” is the best-kept secret in contemporary folk. “So Fast” is a song sung to a youngster growing up. It faithfully jumbles up the joy and frustration of parenting. It made me laugh and cry. “Homesick Again” is a contagious upbear tune about trying to break away from small town life. It’s on of the best portrait songs around. “Katie’s Song” chronicles the growing relationship of friends in a small town, right up to the final good-bye. The chorus is so satisfying and easy to sing to. “Half Life” takes a look at the creation/evolution question from Rechelle’s unique perspective. It’s at once funny and profound. “Tonight in Waleetka” is from a true story of the changes in small town life in Oklahoma. It breaks your heart only to fill the crack with hope. For me, these songs will be treasured for a long time to come. -David Hakan, Songwriters Circle of Kansas City
