There are so many highlights on this CD. Where to start? "Abilene" is beautiful and sad, "When I was Your Girl" is an unabashed rocker. The country elements are subtle and effective, and the songwriting is deeply felt. If you like Lucinda and Emmylou, you'll dig this record.

This is a great CD for road. Put the windows down, crank up the sound and sing along. The lyrics offer charming little surprises along the way and you'll have your favorite lines before too long. The Great Unknown sound is authentically great, the writing is original, their lead singer provides wonderful down-home vocals. If I were a gamblin' girl I'd say we're going to be hearing more good stuff from this band. At least I hope so!

I discovered this band by accident. Listened to a few clips and liked what I heard. Since I bought the CD, it has become one of my very favorites and I listen to it all the time.

I saw these guys open for the Indigo Girls in Charlottesville, and I was blown away. I wasn't the only one, as they ran out of CDs and had to take mail orders. Right from the start, I really, really loved this album, and the more I listened to it, the more I loved it, until it was almost never out of my CD player. Great music, great lyrics. I'm patiently waiting for the follow up!

i was totally surprised by the impact of this CD, which i ordered sort of as a whim. The lead singer is everywoman with a funky voice. i wasn't always crazy about the instrumentals, but i guess i pretty much ignored them cause i was paying so much attention to the lyrics. There are a lot of great female singers out there...i hope this one makes it.
