Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Boston folkie Catie Curtis is backed by an all-star roots-rock band (ex-Springsteen keyboardist Roy Bittan, ex-Mellencamp drummer Kenny Aronoff, ex-Gabriel bassist Tony Levin) on her album "Catie Curtis," and her songwriting has improved enough to live up to the challenge. Her lyrics boast a new level of sharply observed detail, and her verses build to truly memorable choruses. When she sings about an adolescent lesbian affair on "I Don't Cry Anymore," the specificity of lines such as "I kept your picture in my pocket though you were always with me" will connect with anyone's doomed teenage romance. Another song describes a fading New England mill town, but it transcends that cliché to evoke time passing inexorably like a "River Winding" through the darkness. --Geoffrey Himes

I saw Catie Curtis because my friend Dwight reccomended it. Her lyrics are incredible. They drag forward all the thoughts we have, plus the relationship we wish we could find. "I don't need a hero, just somebody"...Somewdsy I hope to find a life partner that feels about me what Curtis has expressed in her songs. a great car CD. Thank you Dwight!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than "Truth from Lies"...., January 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Catie Curtis (Audio CD)

I honestly thought this release might disappoint because her first effort was so wonderful. I can only say I was wrong, this CD actually exceeds her fabulous rookie release, "Truth from Lies". Cuts 1-12 are all great, with "Falling Silent in the Dark", "I Don't Cry Anymore", "Heroes" and "Larry" being my personal favorites. If you like the Indigo Girls or Dar Williams and you've never heard of Catie, do yourself a favor and check her out...you will not be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of seeing Catie Curtis open for Dan Fogleberg at Humphrey's in San Diego. It was my first exposure to her music and I was impressed with her talents from the first song she sang. There's a real depth and truth in her songs and voice. She was more than great, she was superb and I'm not sure why we don't hear more of her on the radio. This CD is my personal favorite.
