I THOUGH THAT DEBORAH COULDNT TOP HER LAST CD 'SOFT PLACE TO FALL",BUT ON HER NEW CD SHE SINGS AND PLAYS HER BEST. TO MY SURPRISE JIMMY THACKERY PLAYS ON THREE CUTS. MOST OF THE SONGS ARE ORIGINALS EXCEPT FOR A GREAT VERSION OF 'bending like a willow tree" WRITTEN BY LOWELL FULSON. THIS CD SHOULD PUT HER AT THE TOP ARE NEAR OF GREAT BLUES ARTISTS MALE OR FEMALE.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great musician, great vocalist, mediocre lyrics, January 17, 2002

I agree that Deborah Coleman should be getting more recognition than she has. She's a wonderful musician with a distinctive voice. And the arrangements on this album are quite good. For that, she gets five stars.

But when it comes to original lyrics, she has a major deficit. Most of the songs suffer from a surfeit of cliches and hackneyed ideas. The opening lines of Crazy, for example ("You say yes, I say no/You say stop, I say go"), were lifted from Lennon and McCartney, who used them as parody. No parody here. No surprises, either.

There are about 6 excellent songs here. LIVIN' ON LOVE is the best selection, a rock tune. MEMORY LANE is a good easy listening ballad. Crazy is excellent, with a very catchy rock n' roll beat. BENDING LIKE A WILLOW TREE is an excellent progressive blues song. HAPPY WHEN YOU'RE UNHAPPY is a good number. So is TORN IN TWO. Other songs are probably good, but I can't remember them. Debra, along with the other Debbie--Debbie Davies-- may be the best pop artists you will ever hear. I am thinking about their CDs, since I have not seen them live. CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THE TWO DEBBIES!!
