Oh God, what is this music? Is this acoustic folk, no, angry folk like Ani, no, acoustic indie fok-rock, no, jazz-blues, no. This is all in one and in original Holly Figueroa style. Fantastic drums and bass structure in high fidelity sound quality with acoustic and electric guitars accompaniment is back Holly' fine vocal. One of them is acoustic solo with one guitar but one of them is pure electric jazz. Colorfull and very attractive arranging with lyrical poetry.

Ani Di Franco is "Not A Pretty Girl" but Holly Figueroa is "A Really Pretty Woman"!

This is my first Holly' CD but not the last one! Highly recommend anybody who loves the good music.

Words do not do this CD justice, you have to hear the music. Holly has the uncanny and rare ability to tell a story, break your heart, and make you laugh all in the same song. I heard Dream in Red on 'All Things Considered' last year and fell in love with Holly's voice, but lyrically is where she really shines. She wrote the song 'Dream in Red' in answer to John Krakauer's book "Into the Wild", which I also love. She belongs on center stage with the best songwriters, and its a shame that she isn't better known yet, but when she is I'll be proud to say that "I knew her when!". I highly recommend this CD to anyone searching for more than the usual crap on the radio.
