From time to time, a CD of stunning musical clarity — but not a clear genre fit — finds its way to Sea of Tranquility headquarters. Who I Am is one of those CDs, a warm and friendly disc featuring one of America's unsung female singer/songwriters. Chicago-bred Alice Peacock has gone from independent artist to major-label darling and back again. Who I Am was recorded in two weeks as she sat at her piano singing and playing while her band played live with the tape rolling. It sounds like a lost Seventies album, one in which the songs flow freely into one another, taking their time reliving lost loves and childhoods while searching for ways to age with dignity. In short, Who I Am is an album to savor. It doesn't rock, and it doesn't really roll. But it's nevertheless a worthwhile listen, laced with honest and vulnerable lyrics that not only give you insight into Alice Peacock – who she is – but also manage to teach you a little bit more about yourself.
