I purchased this cd for one song (This Kind Of Love). When it arrived I popped it into my portable and went out to mow the lawn. Three hours later (I have a large lawn) and almost four cycles of the cd later ... I was in musical love! The song I purchased it for was actually the fourth or fifth best on the cd. That's how good it was! All of the tracks are good to excellent. Passed it on to my wife who enjoyed it equally as much (and our tastes are not identical my any means). Tremendous songwriting and addictive music play. I am waiting anxiously for Meg's next release ... which I will buy immediately.

One of the best records I have ever owned. Not a bad song in the bunch. "Bob on the Waves" is an instant Summer Standard; contemporary yet evocative of many decades past. All songs on this record allude to all eras of Pop and Rock past in an exquisite hi-ball that is shaken and stirred. Hardly ever is a cd released with such uniform quality and sincerity. Hopefully the true art of this piece will not go unnoticed. Cheers to these two!

Meg Hentges knows how to rock. This singer,songwriter, guitar player is truly a jack of all trades. If you like the Stones, Fountains of Wayne, R.E.M., or Patti Smith, you'll love this c.d. In addition to hard driving, heart thumping tunes like "God's Lake" and "Tattoo Urge", Hentges writes the sweetest, saddest ballads I've ever heard. This artist is going to go far and I'll be proud to say, "I told you so."

I found my first Meg Hentges CD at Dimple for $4. I took it out to the car and listened to it and really liked it. I went to the computer to get some more. Try it as you will like it

I read a review of Meg's album in The Advocate and was interested in hearing a sample. I..downloaded "This Kind of Love". Instantly fell in love and within a day I had ordered Meg's whole album. I wouldn't have bought the album without a preview! Anyway, I love the album. A couple of the songs don't stick with me as much as others, but generally it is a great album with some fun and creative songs.

The sophistcated nature of this record is a real surprise coming from Austin Texas. While keeping with a wholesome integrity the most earnest aspects of music in this town, a true rock/pop artist in her own right casually slips in to a public conscience with a twist: crossing a usual gender specific territory into a land where the question never enters the mind. This integrity survives the record through never underestimating itself through all genres. Superior.
