There's certainly pressure on Ana's second album to show she's not a flash in the pan. But, the reality is that she won a W.C. Handy award and that is not an accomplishment to be slighted. She definitely has a Bonnie Raitt / Susan Tedeschi sound to her. The music is vibrant and upbeat and not necessarily 'bluesy' but I had trouble accepting that Bonnie Raitt was a blues star when Nick of Time put her over the top. Popovic is the real deal. Enjoy the music and ignore the occasional critic that expects her to walk on water to prove her success is due to her talent and not her looks.

Though this is one of the early works by Ana Popovic, it already has all the features which characterize her works today - great songs, great voice and a killer guitar sound.
I love this album, maybe even more because it is not so acoustically perfect like those made on mega-dollars budget. That's been replaced with a great atmosphere and biting guitar.

The only down side to the CD is you don't get the visual effect of seeing Ana play. As a fellow musician, she is the best slide guitar player around (man woman or child). The CD has a great variety of styles, and she does them all well. Her slide/wah-wah work is a throwback to the great Earl Hooker. Get this CD, her next CD, and most of all, see her in person if you get a chance!

This cd is great!This is her most bluesy cd and like another reviewer said
the production isn't as polished as the later ones giving this cd a jam session vibe. Wonderful playing and awesome writting skills. I will look forward to her next cd,hopfully another dvd. I love Ya Ana!

1 Love fever
2 Mended
3 Downtown
4 I won't let you down
5 The hustle is on
6 How lonely can a woman get
7 Bring your fine self home
8 Home town
9 How the mighty have fallen
10 Girl of many words
11 Walk away
12 Minute till down

Another great album by Ana. Most of you Ana fans know she's studied jazz and you'll always find a little jazz influence in her blues. There are few female guitar players who are better and not that many male guitar players either. This woman has talent! Hope I can go see her the next time she tours the US.

cd contains blues/rock and a little hint of jazz, ana"s guitar sounds sweat tones with the rock fills. ana does a cover of buddy guys songs man of many words and she also does a duet w/bernard allison

I lived Ana Popovic so much that I bought her DVD so I could see this slinky female slither accross the stage in the Netherlands. It's easy to hear where she gets a lot of her influence. The "Texas" Blues style is sweeping the world.

This is what we call in the business a hype.
a young female woman (also from former yughoslavia) singin and playing slide guitar as well. Wonderfull production behind it, and there you go: another cd you'll find in the second hand bin. Have fun listening to it the first time. Get bored the second time. Start being anoyed by the voice and the guitar playing it the third time
