Recorded in Dar Williams' bedroom, Massachusetts and at Sorcerer Sound, New York, New York.
MORTAL CITY, the follow-up to Dar Williams' successful debut, THE HONESTY ROOM, is rife with whimsy, wit, and the confessional style of songwriting that first drew fans to Williams. Her confessional style remains engaging, charming, and rarely self-indulgent. Williams tackles delicate subjects skillfully. On "As Cool as I Am," for instance, she sings about female jealousy and feelings of inadequacy in male-female relationships. Threatened by a woman who seems to have caught the attention of her lover, Williams wrestles with her own insecurity. Williams emerges victorious, ultimately declaring that she will not be afraid of women and won't allow her herself be intimidated by them.
 "The Christians and the Pagans" tells of a woman's Christmastime visit to a relative's house-with her female companion. Family members are miffed (the subject and her buddy are said "pagans"), but Williams' subtle humor and keen sense of melody win the day-and propel the song. A strong second set, MORTAL CITY proves that Williams is a formidable talent who won't be disappearing anytime soon.

Editorial reviews
7 - Flawed Yet Worthy - ...she delivers her songs with a light, Joan Baez soprano, and clean, finger-picked guitar, occasionally augmented by dobro, mandolin, fiddle, and cello...
Spin  (05/01/1996)

...Her second full-length album is alternately haunting, tragic, and whimsical....she may well be folk's most original and incisive songwriter. - Rating: A
