This CD rocks! There's some 70s "big rock," some confessional songwriting, and a lot of great pop hooks. Can't wait to see her live.

An absolute treat! Great ROCK album from an amazing songwriter, singer, and guitarist. So emotional and gripping. I totally recommend this CD.

This is the first full length solo release by the leader of Kansas City favorite Exit 159. A series of songs about relationships and the cycles they go through, all written by Stremel and Guitarist Chris Meck. Standout tracks are "Good to You" and "All I Really Want" which illustrate the influence of rockers Joan Jett and Melissa Etheridge on Kristie's work.

I recently bought this cd and all I can say is wow. I haven't stopped listening to it yet. From beginng to end it's an amazing album. I own a lot of cd's (over 500) and this one is one of the best. I can't even pick a favorite track. And she is amazing live too. Kristie was just here in Dallas this past week and the show was great, only downside is no one else here knows who she is and I was the only one there to see her. I had the good fortune of meeting Kristie and the band after the show and they are all extremely nice. If you are looking for the next big female musician Kristie is it. She's gonna be huge, mark my word. All I Really Want is worth the money. And all I really want is for Kristie to get the recognition she deserves.

Though i know that the music is the most important part, i like to share with you all, especially the customers out of Europe, that the same CD is available in Europe, but with a different cover. On this cover Kristie switched into a blond stunning young girl , without glasses, but with Tattoo and with a cowboy hat. But still the music is great.

Like Kristie Stremel, I am from Hays, KS. I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting this talented young artist in person. If you are ready for Pat Benatar meets Melissa Etheridge - or Joan Jett meets Gwen Stefani, then you are ready for this CD. More than the music itself, is lyrics that are deeply seated. This is the perfect example of artistic expression. I, myself, am an graphic artist and only hope the message I convey is often as clear and expressive as this. Spine-tingling lyrics combined with a pure talent in her partner, Chris Meck, this CD is sure to have one track out there for everyone. It is really like a small journey from start to finish. With soulful ballads to pure jammin tunes, there is something for all, but never lacking in content in lyrics.

I got this CD at the CD Release Party in Kansas City. Not Only
is this one of the Most Well put together CD's I've heard in a While it also covers Most Aspects of Todays Music. " Good To You"
is As Alternative as it Gets, "More than a Little Bit" Covers the Country side of things, " Twist " is a Pop Radio Smash ,
"Shaky Hands" Covers The Soulful Aspect of Kristies Songwrting
abilities. Simple = This Record is Very Well Rounded. On top of
All of this Kristies Live Show is Out Of This World !! If You were to look in the Dictionary under "Rock & Roll Show" there should be a Picture of Kristie and Her Live Band !! To sum it All up She's Got What it Takes to Be Really Big . This Record
is a Must !!!!! Way To Go Kristie .

Standout tracks are "Good to You" and "All I Really Want" which illustrate the influence of rockers Joan Jett and Melissa Etheridge on Kristie's work.

In my opinion this is Stremel's finest album to date. She sings about love and timidity in a unique blend country and rock-and-roll. She sounds like the love child of Joan Jett and the Man in Black. Stremel really shines in concert. If you have the chance, go see her. Check http://www.kristiestremel.com/schedule.php for updates on her tours. She is truely one rock star to watch for in the future.
