Review

A promise never fulfilled, no matter how honest or well-intentioned, Knots and Crosses emerged from the late 1980s Boston indie scene just in time to score one local hit, "Creatures of Habit," a flaring jangle strong enough to suggest that the band, had they stuck it out, might have made good on their debts to folk-rock duos such as Richard and Linda Thompson and Gene Clark and Carla Olson. A dead-in-the-water deal with Island records and a wrecked marriage between lead singer Carol Noonan and singer-guitarist Alan Williams put an end to the band, though for this overview of their '90s recordings, Williams, Noonan (who has since developed a steady solo career), and guitarist Rick Harris returned to the studio to revisit two fine old and unrecorded songs. Listening back to the desperate interweaving of Noonan's and Williams's voices, the angry, angular guitar work, and song after song of emotional turmoil, one can hear why the band was once so well-regarded and glimpse a bit of what might have been. --Roy Kasten
