5.0 out of 5 stars Careful! You're Going To Fall In Love With Jonatha Brooke (if you aren't already), April 3, 2007

By	PDXKevin (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

She's no longer going to be my little secret. The rest of America (and the world) is now going to be familiar with my favorite female artist: The lovely, talented, and extremely hard-working Jonatha Brooke. She consistently amazes me.

When I first heard the title track last December, I knew that this album was going to be something different and exciting from J Bro. "Careful What You Wish For" busted through the speakers and made my house vibrate, and I liked it. The song has a BIG, full sound with a great melody and fun harmonies. You'll be at the store, and you'll start humming the song. Trust me. It will happen to you.

The rest of the CD is very solid. "Keep The River On Your Right" is another favorite. Darren Embry's grooving bass put a big smile on my face. My dog actually wanted to dance with me. "Forgiven" is a haunting semi-dissonant masterpiece. "Hearsay" is a rockin' catchy waltz (ok...it's 6/8 time). You'll be tapping your toes on this one. "Prodigal Daughter" is another favorite. I was hooked from the first two lines. "Never Too Late For Love" is simple, beautiful, and sweet. It's classic Jonatha: a solo acoustic guitar and a heavenly voice.

This CD rocks, but seeing Jonatha live is a love affair. When she comes to your town, definitely catch her show. Her live performances will turn you into a two-timer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning accomplishment., March 22, 2007

By	Derek Powell (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an album so good that it uttelry transcends any descriptive category. Jonatha Brooke has delivered a body of work that is equal parts haunting, beautiful, melodic, and powerful.

From the awesome, trippy strength of the title track, to the head-bouncing energy of "Keep the River on Your Right", the soaring harmonies of "Baby Wait", the taunting, eerie electric guitars in "Forgiven", to the acoustic loveliness of the closing track, "Never too Late," there's so much to absorb and discover on multiple listens. I find that on any given day my "favorite" song changes simply because I can't pick just one.

I can't understand why more people haven't heard of Jonatha Brooke. Based on the killer talent of this album, she should be picking up a ton of new fans soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great record, April 20, 2007

By	Ian Williamson (Aberdeen Scotland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It would seem from previous reviewers that you have either been a huge fan of Jonathas'since the days of the Story or you have never heard of the lady. Well I am in the former camp as I have all of her work and I rate this among her best. I do however notice a recent shift to more of an electric performance, as recently evinced by the Live in NY CD (not a bad thing)
The Cd kicks off with 3 great tracks and continues in that form utill the track in French........maybe I need to hear it more, and does not let up till the end.
A pure class CD and in these days of manufactured music such tallent in both songwriting and performance is indeed VERY rare
A must buy!!!!!!!!!!
