For singer-songwriter Rachel Brown, LIFE is her muse. Life is at the root of every one of these tunes, from "Mama & Daddy'' to "Jimmy'' to "My Best Friend Is My Song'' to "My Namesake.'' But the reason that these songs and the rest of "Once Again'' go beyond blogosphere-bland — in addition to that big, beautiful, expressive voice — is that each tune is a layer cake of our own lives hidden in Brown's words. -- Chuck Yarborough, Pop Music Critic, Cleveland Plain Dealer.
