"Three Bridges" Lead to Brilliance

"Jamie Anderson is that rare musical artist that comes along only every so often who should carry the following disclaimer: "guaranteed to entertain." Armed with a keen sense of humor, astuteness, honesty and warmth, Jamie's latest 16-track compilation represents a variety of styles sure to tantalize every taste...poignant verse, humor and candor delivered with a voice that exudes the silky sweetness of her admitted passion for chocolate.



"Three Bridges" carries listeners across a wide chasm of emotions--from the tear-tugging "Beautiful," a touching, yet haunting song about body image, to the playfulness of "When Cats Take Over the World" (self-explanatory!) to the 'sure-can-relate-to-those' feelings following the loss of a relationship in "Too Busy Being Blue."



In just under four-and-a-half minutes, Jamie uncovers a lifetime journey from self-discovery to celebration with "I Don't Know About the Night," a ballad that has captured bragging rights as the "most frequently played" song on this reviewer's iPod.



And, in the toe-tapping "Menstrual Tango," Jamie paints a HUGELY HUMOROUS picture of the monthly trials and tribulations of, well, being a woman. I dare you to listen and NOT laugh so hard your feminine-hygiene product falls out! (We can only hope there's a "Menopause Mambo" in Jamie's future repertoire!);-)



"Three Bridges" is the consummate collection of Jamie's two decades of songwriting and performance. Her musical mastery shines through in a unique ability to bring together diverse audiences with universal stories of life, all while covering a broad spectrum of both serious and light-hearted themes. Through it all, Jamie spreads a rainbow of musical style that is certain to please and leave you begging for more!
