"Sara Lee's album "Make it Beautiful" is truely what it says, beautiful. Lee has managed to combine rolling vocal melodies with sharp musical riffs to create a wonderfully unique sound. The music flows into your ears, throughout your body, reaches your heart, and wraps its smokey quality around your soul. Sara Lee has created a masterpiece with "Make it Beautiful"."

"I must be older than the other reviewers of this CD. Way back when, Sara was the bass player with Robert Fripp's still experimental League Of Gentlemen. Then, one day, she was spotted playing bass on the B-52s "Love Shack" video (and the album it came from). Then there was the Gang of Four. And now the Ani DiFranco connection. This girl has been around! And she is truly a great bass player! Wow! How nice to find she finally has a CD of her own.In some ways, this music is more "Pop" than "Rock". But, like Peter Gabriel's "Steamhammer" and "Big Time", it's utterly compelling pop music. I find myself hearing many of the hooks and riffs daily as I go about what I normally do to get things done. I often feel a need to go back and listen to several of the songs all over again...just to see if it really is that good. Yes, it is!Given my musical interests, "Pop" is usually a dirty word to me. But, it *is* a legitimate art form. And some artists (Sara being one of them) can bring it home with a punch. This CD is well worth the investment. You won't be disappointed."

Ani's bassist goes solo.

"Sara Lee is a very distinguished bassist playing for the likes of Ani DiFranco, the Indigo Girls, the B-52's, and Joan Osborne. On her first solo album, you can hear her very soothing voice along with her very prominent bass playing. Having two songs penned by Ani DiFranco and having her appear as guest back-up vocals was very nice. Her songs are very laid back. This album isn't exactly the greatest one in the world but very good nonetheless. She's excellent live (that's how I first found out about this album) so for that reason you should buy the album and get ready to see her perform these songs live."
