I've seen Janiva many times live, sometimes in small clubs and sometimes at Blues Festivals and she ALWAYS puts on a fantastic performance. If there is a better female blues belter out there I haven't heard her. This cd is a departure from her previous ones as this is a more stripped down sound. Her voice has never been better and I think this may be my favorite cd of hers. If you want to hear what a real blues singer sounds like buy any or all of her CDs and you won't be disappointed. Also, if you ever get an opportunity to catch a live show you'll be glad you did. By the way my favorite reviewer on Amazon is Avalondon, please send me an email.

I don't need 75+ words to say this is the best CD by a female blues singer I've heard in a long,long time. Whether she won a Handy Award or not, she deserves at least one, and soon!

I stumbled upon Janiva's music when Alligator records sent me the opportunity to buy a autographed copy of a about to be released CD by Janiva Magness called "what love will do". I read some reviews and thought I'll check her out.
When I placed her CD on after arrival I almost fell out of my chair.
I was a resident of The French Quarter of New Orleans for years and have heard great female Blues singers, Etta James is the best of this generation I had thought, my all time favorite,
Now Janiva Magness stands next to Etta, she is a good, as inspirational,great to listen to, witty and just one fine Blues Artist
I now own every one of Janiva's CD's and am waiting anxiously for her next release.
If you love Etta James then you are going to go wild over Janeva in the same way. Buy her music and you I promise will never regret it,
Every song is terrific like Etta, She slips no half hearted music in, It's her music and voice from the soul..She gives you her all every time she sings a new song...
This artist will be never be forgotten and I feel will one day be placed in the Blues Hall of Fame and considered one of the finest Female Blues singers of our generation..
