'Perfect Time for a Breakdown' let's you hear Sharon Little's incredible range over the combination rock and blues music she co-composed. Soft, Powerful, sometimes Joplinesque, her music grabs you from nowhere and brings you to attention - and you stay there. I saw her at the Greek theatre in L.A. opening for Robert Plant/Alison Krauss. She walked out to a half filled blasse audience - and walked off to a standing stunned crowd. The next night, I was fortunate enough to see both perfect performances by Stevie Winwood and Tom Petty at the Hollywood Bowl. But the CD I listened to on my way home was Sharon Little's. - Her recorded music is great, but see her live - she performs.

The only thing better than a CD by Sharon Little is seeing her perform live! She is a masterful songwriter and a moving & courageous performer. Sharon willingly allows each song to take her over and she becomes all of the longing, fear, joy and heartbreak in each one. I grew up on the music of the 50's 60's and 70's and matured on the best of the what's been out there since and I gotta tell you, I never heard better or been moved more by any other singer/songwriter. She is simply unique and has a gift for sharing a song that is unparallelled. Get everything of Sharon's that you can get your hands on. Before the first song is over, you will be calling all your friends and telling them they gotta hear this woman sing!

I first heard the song "Follow That Sound" on "The Cleaner" on A&E. I loved the sound of the song and the artist. I immediately went to Amazon.com and ordered it. Usually, when I do this, the song that led me to order the CD is the only one I really like. But this is a good CD. I like most all the songs. Sharon Little has a good voice and I really enjoy her music.

Sharon tore the house down in Columbia MD with her bluesey sultry sound. Her range reminds me of a cross between Billie Holiday and Janis herself. She is quite the entertainer and is worth seeing. Her conversations with her audience showed her humility and gratitude, two worthwhile virtues today. She deserved the standing ovation and more. I bought her CD and just love it. Not a bad track on the entire CD. Sharon, I hope you go far:)

I also saw Sharon open for Robert Plant and Alison Krauss and was immediately capitvated by this charming, giggly girl with that amazing voice. I hope that with the reception she's been getting on this tour, her waitressing days are behind her. How many opening acts get standing ovations? GET THIS CD! You won't be disappointed. I listen every day.

I have just purchased the new album of Sharon Little thanks to hearing her on the US breakfast television repeats shown here in Sydney at about 5am!! Loved the sound and thanks to Amazon could acquire a copy that morning....I love it as music to drive to and as background when friends are with me on my sailing boat.

As a debut, it is excellent and I am certain that Sharon is in for a huge roller-coaster ride to stardom....Mark W

Sharon Little's voice is one of those that can give you goosebumps when listening to her whether it is the first or 12th time. Her sound is one all her own and her emotion is easily felt. I am looking forward to future work by this intriguing new artist and you will too once you have heard her work (gift).

I am not sure I can offer any comments all that dfferent from the other reviews that are here but definitely wanted to give this one 5 stars. I also checked Sharon Little out because of the song "Follow That Sound" from the TV show "The Cleaner". I bought the CD and have been quite pleased. Ms. Little provides the perfect combination of rock,blues, and pop. It is true, there is really not a bad song on the entire CD. She does have shades of Janis Joplin, Norah Jones, Etta James, and maybe even a touch of Lizzie West (whose music I love!) Well worth a serious listen!

Saw Sharon in concert with Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, usually opening acts are more than a little disappointing, but she was the perfect person to open for them with the perfect music to match their music . My friend and I fell for her on the spot, so much so that I bought this CD for him 3 days after the concert. We have both listened to this CD for hours. If you enjoy R&B, bluegrass w/a twist you will love this CD. I can hardly wait to see her in person again and am waiting for another CD to be published.

Sharon Little has a fantastic voice. Very melodic, sensual with some bluesy tones. Very easy to listen to, sing along with (when no one's around). I have her music on my iPod, in the shower and car. I discovered her music on the TV show "The Cleaner". I'm waiting on her next cd!
