CD ReviewsAn "Underdog"??? I don't think so! jdstrummer | Edge of America | 02/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) ""A black and white picture, taken by a stranger, out in the streets of New Orleans..." so she begins "Taking Bob Dylan," the tale of a painful parting. As every good songwriter does, Jen Foster convinces you that that the photo and the wine bottle and the stolen blanket are yours. Foster's rousing background vocals are a blast to parrot as they lead you to the conclusion that she is (and you are) going to be just fine... especially when she finally, boldly and sarcastically asks, "tell me, how does it feel?" Despite the heavy topics, Foster manages to give us something different: a serious album that, on the whole, is uplifting AND provocative. While "Taking Bob Dylan" is THE anthem for the whole moving out ordeal, Jen Foster's singing and songwriting talents are evident throughout this album. "Without Michaelangelo" is a clever tribute to "greats" that she manages to make both playful and profound! Speaking of profound, "Amen" showscases the depth of Jen's writing and the strength of her vocals. And just when you think you know her music, you get "Sun in Seattle" which is reminiscent of something, I'm not sure what, but something well before her time... perhaps Simon and Garfunkel's somber stuff? I don't know, but in any event, veeeery cool. The bottom line is this: if you're into cool, thoughtful lyrics and solid vocals, get this cd... then do whatever you can to catch the next Jen Foster show! Bravo to Jen Foster (and to famed producer Jeff Trott)." Year of the underdogs Carmen Pangelinan | Saturn | 02/23/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "From the opening line "won't you please tell me where your going I'm on edge with this uncertainty" you begin the lyrical journey of "The Underdogs," both lyrically and musically this CD soars. i can't remember the last time i bought a CD i could leave in my player for more then just a couple of songs. not only should you buy this CD, but catch a live show, you won't be dissapointed." Best Cd I've heard in AGES Kelly Easter | Nashville, TN | 02/23/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "(...) Here is an artist who lays her heart on her sleeve - who takes risks in her life and her music. Bigger risks than any artist i can think of with that kind of mainstream capability. An openly gay artist who won a Gospel Award? Michelle would be Shocked! Amazing lyricist and personality, as well. And Jeff Trott? His production is tasteful, impeccable. All of the major songwriting awards Jen has won speak for themselves. She's as edgy and cool as Michelle Shocked, but crafts melodies and writes lyrics like a star."
