"When I went to her website and the little promo popped up about getting a free tryout of the cd (after I had heard of her from another artist's bulletin board) I was expecting an undeveloped michelle branch (also an excellent artist) or a wannabe "carlton" (Anything but that,please!). I am glad I was completely wrong about this assumption and with the exception of one song I fully enjoy this cd. The only explicit lyrics I heard were on the last two tracks and anybody could here that on the WB or local radio. Plus compared to other artists that make cds with it throw the words around with no meaning behind them. Few artists can actually use stronger language to make a stronger song. This artist has it all, looks(definitely), voice (oh yeah!) originality, excellent rhythm, and even better lyrics. She could definitely rank up there with Michelle. On the other hand with Branch's new cd on the horizon I have another compilation of excellent music to look forward to. Above all things buy this cd. Why you ask? One to promote the artist so she can make more cds. Two: So more people can hear this cd. Three: You cannot go wrong with a cd like this. I certainly hope to hear her on a local station in the near future so that many more people can have the Bach experience. Who says Bach means classical?? Definitely not with this artist. She is a genre and class all of her own."
Powerful. Incredible talent.

"I came upon Ms. Bach's music quite on accident, but the instant I heard the tracks on this album, I was blown away by both her talent, which is undeniable, and the skill with which she sings. Later I discovered her website and read up on the new album, which has a completely different sound from Miles to Go. I have high, high expectations for her second album and I can't wait until its release."
A Star on the Rise

"I just learned of Alex Bach a few weeks ago. After sampling her Amazon music downloads, I bought the CD. What a deep, rich, mesmerizing voice, mature beyond her years. On this album, Alex Bach exhibits the ability to either wrap her voice around a touching ballad ('Miles to Go)' or get-edgy-with-it on a song like 'Worthless'. She moves between genres with ease and there's a song on this CD to please everyone. My favorite is 'Anymore' which flows beautifully from beginning to end and captures the essence of Ms. Bach's voice and song writing ability. The EXPLICIT LYRICS tag is a sign of the times, something Roger Daltrey and the Who didn't have to deal with 25 some years ago when 'Who are You!' was penned. I hear only one word that pushes past the envelope and it took six times through the song before I picked it out.My prediction is that, once this young lady gets airplay, she'll immediately capture a lot of hearts and ears."
