During the '80s Christine Lavin has risen from the east coast coffeehouse circuit, to nationwide notoriety as singer of satires and spoofs on '90s culture. Her feminism is tempered and made effective by wicked humor, and her ultrahigh soprano serves as a strange, charming foil. Like Steve Goodman, whose style she echoes, Lavin can also write songs of true tenderness, as "Gettin' Used to Leaving" and "Moment Slipped Away" more than make clear. --Roy Francis Kasten
