Six years have passed since the release of FREAKWATER's last album, 'End Time'. During that time, their longest break since their 1989 debut, CATHERINE IRWIN and JANET BEVERIDGE BEAN each released solo records. Using their own uniquely askew take on honky-tonk, bluegrass, and country-politan, Freakwater invariably make records easily distinguishable from one another while maintainingtheir signature sound. On 'Thinking of You' they create an album both modern and timeless. The outcome is a complex, subtly nuanced album with remarkable balance and fluidity. Lyrically, Freakwater continue to write about heartache and sadness, yet also touch onsubjects not often broached in traditional country music. Like the album cover's tongue-in-cheek greeting card image of a burning bouquet, the musicitself represents an exquisite blend of beauty, horror, and inexplicable optimism.
