Product Description

Acoustic rock with a bluesy edge -- a tasty combination of gutsy vocals, rich harmonies, and soul. Hydraulic Woman crosses all the lines between rock, blues, acoustic, and electric. This debut album combines sounds and styles reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, and Beth Hart. Featuring the talent of seven outstanding musicians, this CD captures the same integrity and passion found at a live performance. Hydraulic Woman started in 1990 as a solo coffeehouse act and has evolved into a full band, which adds incredible depth and fullness to this catchy bundle of original tunes. "Glad Game" tells stories of love, lust, loss, and growth, from the perspective of a young woman who survives and embraces life with her heart sitting optimistically on her sleeve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gutsy, Bluesy Voice and a Fabulous Band!, October 25, 2002

Lori L. Lake "Author of Like Lovers Do, Buyer... (Portland, Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Glad Game (Audio CD)

This 9 song set contains a range of songs all crafted from a variety of musical influences: blues, rock, soul, and pop. The CD starts out with the knee hoppin', finger-poppin' "Bring It On," a funky, rock-based romp. It ends with the more mellow "Late At Night," an upbeat song with a slightly dark tinge to it. In between, we are treated to pop songs like "Go" which could surely play on mainstream radio, "Hard To Say Goodbye," a bluesy rocker, and "Dez's Song," which is a reflection on whether to let go and love--or leave up the walls all around. The vocals are clear and gutsy, sung with depth and range. The lead guitars and harmonica are particularly fine, with all the musicians doing an excellent job supporting the lead singer's smooth voice.

This artist has generously allowed her lyrics to be used in my new novel, UNDER THE GUN, and the song "Go" is featured in the forthcoming novel, DIFFERENT DRESS (May, 2003). If you've read the books, check out the tunes that go with the lyrics. This is a CD you'll return to, over and over, and I give it my highest recommendation.

Kristen has a definite knack for writing great songs and her interpretation is as real as it gets...definitely an original. Look out Bonnie Raitt! Here comes Kristen Schuldt! - Tom Garrett, KYBA Radio, MN
