I caught an enchanting cover of Santana's "Evil Ways" by Amelia's Dream last weekend on public radio. I struck out finding the CD "Love Tattoo" in any of Louiville Ky's record stores and turned to Amazon.com where it was #103,600 on the hit parade.

I was pleasantly surprised to find not only Evil Ways which performed in a sugary sweet sexy voice that grabs your attention the moment you hear it but eleven other songs all co-written by Amelia Gewirtz, who is the owner of that powerful soprano voice which tantalizes you song by song with its range and versatility.

The lyrics are thoughtful, longing, and uplifting as is the performance by this two person group. The CD includes an upbeat remix of Fire in my Heart. It is a song off Amelia's Dreams' debut album which I will have to order after I finish this review.

This CD reminds me of another great discovery I made after seeing Jewel perform as Dorothy in the Lincoln Center's Wizard of Oz. I blindly went out and bought "Pieces of You" a year before "You Were Meant for Me" was released as a single.

If you like Jewel, I guarantee you will enjoy Amelia's Dream's Love Tattoo. What a voice...

I saw Amelia's Dream live at the Bethlehem Muzikfest in Pennsylvania, and they were fantastic. After seeing them live, I just had to purchase their CD. Amelia reminds me of Natalie Merchant in her early years. They are an up-and-coming band, and this CD is definitely worth checking out.
