5.0 out of 5 stars Blueswoman And Rocker, October 21, 2007

Shannon's 1999 debut album, "Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions", introduced us to a (barely) teenaged powerhouse blues singer and guitarist. Eight years later, the powerhouse has matured and still has that big voice and great chops. This time out, her focus is more hard rock oriented and she demonstrates that she can also work well in that genre. All but one of the songs on this cd are co-written by her, and Shannon belts them out with full throttle performances.
For those who are unfamiliar with Shannon, be prepared to be blown away by her mature beyond her years voice and massive lead guitar skills. A live album showcasing both her blues and rock sides might be a worthwhile project for her next release.

Shannon's debut CD 'Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions' was a tasty blues album that was impressive for several reasons. She was only 16 years old, wrote, sang and played guitar on all the tracks (except for a cover of "The Weight"). 'Fast Lane Addiction' is a hard rocking CD that is every bit as impressive as her debut. I've seen this prodigy live several times now and I recommend that if you get the chance, you do the same. Her soulfull voice and hot guitar licks are amazing. Buy this CD and tell your friends.

On Curfman's 2nd studio release she downplays the blues a bit and cranks up the rock. This is a more polished album than her debut as appears that she may have been going for a bit younger more rock oriented audience. This is not necessarily a bad thing though, and for the most part this is a strong piece of work. Curfman wrote or co-wrote most of the songs here. The lyrics appear to be trying to portray a tough girl image especially with straight forward tracks like "Do Me", and "Stone Cold Bitch" which leave little to the imagination. A cover of The Stone Temple Pilots "Sex Type Thing" further ingrains this image that she seems to be trying to portray. I am guessing that reactions will be mixed to some of these lyrics. Vocally Curfman is still in fine form and her guitar playing is strong throughout. My only complaint is that I wish she would stretch out instrumentally a bit more, and the guitar solos are all good, but on the short side. "Fast Lane" is a strong sophomore release and should appeal to both blues and hard rock fans alike.
