"Been a fan of the band Concrete Blonde and I've always checked out

their music over the years. I found this on Amazon and went to her website

to listen to the complete tracks and I've been really surprised at just

how amazing this collection is. The sound, vocals, writing all have

an edge you don't hear anymore so it stands out. Its different than

the Concrete Blonde days but you can't deny its got some great melodies

and off the wall vocal treaments and wide open raw lyrics. It rocks hard

in places and the acoustic guitar weaves its way around some great grooves. This is one of the best offerings this year so far and it would

be nice to see Johnette and these songs out on the road. so many favorites

but I do love the songs "My Diane", and the Coldplay cover "The Scientist",

"Amazing", the first single, & "Crazy Tonight", "Everthing for everyone"."

Napolitano...very captivating

"Johnette Napolitano has one of the most alluring & haunting voices in music. This offering is no exception. Teeming with her signature sultry voice, she engages and pulls you into the music. Highly recommend this CD, as it is very listenable & I caught myself continually wanting to increase the volume just a bit. It is just a touch different from her Concrete Blonde days, but still connected. Saw her in Nashville (solo) last nite for the 1st time and must say that she is an engaging & soulful performer. Buy the CD and see her if/when you can."

Wow.

"What an array of wonderfully crafted songs. Johnette's songwriting is among the best in rock history--they are all different and interesting, and often overwhelmingly powerful. Easily the best rock singer still alive and performing--and better than ever. So underrated . . . If being a great musician is about expressing human emotions with all their breadth and profundity, and I think it is, the best I have ever seen live are Johnette Napolitano and Jerry Garcia. Will Crewdson clearly had a fine influence on one of the truly interesting musical artists of our time. There's something about the REAL musicians--most of them for me are older than me--but they just GLOW or something . . ."
