As a fan of Foley's since 1990, I am often puzzled by people who say they prefer her sometimes too slick work since leaving Antone's. This cd of hidden gems is dynamite stuff. For vocals check out the deep blues of "Gone Blind" with guest Kim Wilson and the rocking "Come On." As for instrumentals, Sue always amazes and her taste is first rate in covering a pair by Earl Hooker. Backed by her great road band at the time, Sue is in top form. Long-time fans will find this one a must, and initiates will receive a fitting introduction to a superb young talent. Oh, and she is simply a knockout on stage-- so catch her when she is near your town.

I know it doesn't make much sense that my favorite Sue Foley CD should be a collection of outtakes from her 1st two albums, but

it sure is. Her cover of Dylan's "Positively 4th Street" is magnificent.

Sue is a very talented artist, her voice is sweet and clear, but I am a old hardcore Blues and Jazz guy,

Real Blues, so if you enjoy good music then buy Sue, she is worth having in your collection but she is not Blues, I have a hard time considering Dylan Blues, It's rock with some Blues in it,

She is very talented don't get me wrong. maybe hopping jazz is a better title,

But a 5 for her because this woman can sing.
