Danielle Miraglia isn’t afraid to take ownership. As wonderful as it is to throw out a straight homage to the originator when you record a cover, there’s also something in tossing your own spin into the mix. On her latest in Bright Shining Stars, Danielle Miraglia hops on the Dylan train not once but twice, turning “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome” and “Meet Me in the Morning” into soulful Gospel/Blues cuts. Still recognizable as a Bob Dylan tune while heavy on her gutsy vocals.  Dylan covers aside chalk the rest of the record up as a win in the Americana Blues realm; the record kicking off with the short, ambient instrumental “Sounds Like Home” that stands as the guitar intro for the stripped down “C.C. Rider” that follows. 
 
“Pick Up the Gun” is a gutsy, gun control Blues number written from the perspective of an aggressor, a ‘god fearing man’ who would ‘do what a copper would do’. Janice Joplin’s “Turtle Blues” is instrumentally sparse and vocal heavy, “You Can Love Yourself” has an animated bounce, and the standard “When Things Go Wrong (It Hurts me Too)” is played as straight-ahead Blues, beautiful and sad. Danielle Miraglia closes with the Bright Shining Stars title track, again heavy on the vocals, the Blues left behind favoring straight ahead Folk. The nod goes to her acoustic picking ability; matched with big vocals it is a grand pairing for a traditional Blues package.   (by Bryant Liggett)
