Lovin' Jackie
Hal Lifson | Los Angeles, CA | 04/18/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"When I first heard that Jackie DeShannon was coming out with a new album I was unbelievably excited. I had seen Jackie perform on numerous television shows in the 60's and she was always one of my few favorite female rock artists. This new album "You Know Me" is a true masterpiece. It has incredible emotion, incredible passion, and immense artistry woven into its grooves. My favorite tracks are: "Just how right you are" (a true rocker), "There goes the one" (a classic DeShannon pop tune that would fit right in as soundtrack music on Ally McBeal), and Jackie's opus to heartland America, "Vanished in time" prove that Jackie's back with a stronger musical vision and lyrical perspective than ever. I highly recommend this album that proves one fact more than any other...Jackie DeShannon's talent as a singer/songwriter is timeless."
A Veteran's Classic

"Jackie Deshannon's records have been among my music collection for nearly as long as I've had records (since about 1965). While her versatility (and the pressures of the "shut up and sing" environment for female artists in the 1960s) led her to try many different styles, for me Jackie Deshannon was in the top tier of folk rockers. It's her material in this genre that is usually my favorite.When I put "You Know Me" on the sound system, I hadn't heard anything new from her since "You're the Only Dancer" in the late 1970s. I was immediately reminded of the inimitable mixture of coolness and vulnerability that her voice conveys. And I got just what I want. This album is a GREAT folk rock offering. The arrangements are heavily based upon guitar, using classic Deshannon chord progressions. This is in no way dated; loads of artists still mine the musical seam originally established by Jackie Deshannon and a few of her contemporaries. Topically, the songs tend to be reflective in the manner that seems appropriate for someone of Jackie's experience and background. I'll put it very simply: for a person to whom classics like "When You Walk In the Room," "Don't Turn Your Back on Me" and her version of "The Weight" represent peak experiences, hearing this album is like opening up a vein and letting Jackie Deshannon pour right in."

"Jackie De Shannon has been at the forefront of the music business paving the way for women before it was "cool." I'm told it was she who told an unknown folksinger named Bob Dylan to "plug in" his guitar. This album is Jackie at her best, using all she has learned through the absent years of reflection, and bursting forth again to simply dazzle us. There's a reason why Sonny Bono, Jack Nitzsche, Jorma & Jack, Marianne Faithful, teh Searchers, the Hollies, and the Beatles all thought/think she's a legend."
