Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants

Review by Matthew Goldenberg

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen is a beautiful album that takes the listener on an emotional journey through the story of a traveling circus during the Great Depression. The album features a mix of hauntingly beautiful ballads and upbeat, toe-tapping tunes that perfectly capture the excitement and danger of life on the road.

The standout tracks on the album include the hauntingly beautiful "Elephant Waltz," which perfectly captures the majesty and grace of these gentle giants, and the upbeat, foot-stomping "Circus Train," which is sure to get your heart racing with its infectious energy.

Throughout the album, Gruen's lyrics are poignant and evocative, painting vivid pictures of the circus performers, the animals, and the people who come to watch them. Her voice is pure and powerful, perfectly complementing the lush instrumentation and sweeping melodies.
