Touching, not just torch

Rain Perry | Ojai, CA USA | 03/09/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Julie Christensen is known as a kind of torch singer, and has gained a reputation in Southern California as the "funkiest diva." But those who've seen her spunky stage performances might have missed all the insight and great songwriting that's evident on this album. "Song that Might've Been," for example, is a profound plea to make art that matters, and will resonate with anyone who's ever dared to dream of artistic success. "Mile Zero" & "Maybe Something" also speak to the dream of making it to someplace better, and "love is driving" captures a great moment of shared happiness away from all the pressure of trying to live a dream.Buy it!"
