For those who had the joy of experience Two Nice Girls music back in the late '80s and early '90s, Gretchen Phillips is a long, long, long-missed voice. After Two Nice Girls abrupt dissolution, fans (like me) were left wondering if Phillips would ever record again. I've looked and looked and until last week, only found the odd EP that didn't come close to fulfilling the TNG-level brilliance. "I Was Just Comforting Her" is a return worth celebrating (and buying, folks, please). Phillips' voice is fantastic, the lyrics are clever, touching and insightful, and the arrangements are indie rock at its very best. And while I know the gay community probably takes great pride in Phillips, it simply doesn't matter who you make love to - this album is good times way overdue. Hopefully we don't have to wait so long for the next one.

Whether gay or straight, any serious fan of music will appreciate this top notch album. Listening from beginning to end, the record takes one on a personal and political journey filled with humor, insight and adventurous arrangements. Plus Gretchen is a phenomenal singer!

so many good songs. Gretchen is smart, masterly, rocking, and hilarious. My favorite CD this year.
