Something gentle this way comes in the form of Mirah and her third full-length album, C'mon Miracle. If her first album, You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This snuck up on you and surprised you, then her second album Advisory Committee stunned you with cannon fire. Now sit back and relax as C'mon Miracle washes over you and etches its subtle ways into your psyche. To accompany her lilting voice, Mirah asked old friends to contribute to the record; so people like Lori Goldston (of The Black Cat Orchestra), Khaela Maricich (The Blow), Jason Anderson (Wolf Colonel), and Nora Davidson and Themba Lewis (of Liarbird) pitched in, strumming autoharps and bowed strings. Mirah also recorded most of C'mon Miracle at Dub Narcotic studio with Phil Elvrum and Calvin Johnson. This combination of songs and collaborations make this album a whirl of audio pleasure that never strays too far from the delightful realm of Mirah sounds.

Normally I go more for creative musical writing over natural abilities, but in Mirah's case, she could sing and record Clay Aiken's debut and I would be totally moved. Her voice is simply that compelling. Which isn't to say this album is poorly written; it's exactly the opposite. Paired with uber-producer Phil Elvrum, Mirah's songwriting and voice really come alive on this album. I've heard her live a couple of times and she continues to blow me away; this is the first album of hers that I own and I must say it exceeded my expectations.
