  • Tish Hinojosa has been ahead of the curve of some time. Her music is a superb amalgam of country, American and Mexican folk, Tex-Mex/conjunto, and pop, and she's a worthy contemporary of similar performers such as Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris and Peter Rowan. SIGN OF TRUTH is something of a departure from her earlier releases.
  • Here Hinjosa tries for a fuller "pop" sound, but it's pop in the Burt Bacharach/Brian Wilson mode, rather than in the Britney Spears sense, with more keyboards and tasteful, restrained electric guitars. The jaunty, joy-filled "Wildflowers" could be an outtake from a late '60s Beach Boys album, with a hook recalling a mellow summertime of sweet soul music. The reflective "The Dreams I Have Seen" mixes jangly tremolo guitars, and sounds like R.E.M. playing Jimmy Webb, with Hinojosa's dulcet, clear soprano gliding towards the heavens. She doesn't forsake her roots, though, as evidenced by the haunting Tex-Mex/Western-flavored ballad "Mona Lisa By the Rio Grande." SIGN demonstrates Hinojosa's growth and range, with no compromise of vision.
Professional Reviews
CMJ (5/22/00, p.33) - "...Hinojosa's pure vocal approach reflects both romantic Mexican music and '60s folk pop a la Joni Mitchell."

No Depression (5-6/00, pp.116-7) - "...One of the most accomplished genre-melders of the [Tex-Mex] turf....SIGN OF TRUTH is a great-sounding disc, with lots of wide-open prairie ambience...and plenty of room for Hinojosa's crystalline voice to shine..."
