Top 10 of all time,

This review is from: Real Life Stuff (Audio CD)
I saw Kristen Hall open for the Indigo Girls back in 1988. It felt like seeing an old friend for the first time in years. Her warm, raspy voice flowed effortlessly through her beautiful new songs. I purchased Real Life Stuff on cassette at the concert (she hadn't made any CDs at that point) and practically wore it to shreds. I knew she was destined for fame.Kristen's lyrics have been powerful from the start. "Howie", my favorite track on the album, is a song about a freindship she made on one of her tours. Every time I hear it, I'm riding in their broken down Bedford with them and I long to see them again as soon as the song is finished. "I Don't Need You Anyway", "Fade Away Blind", "Just So You Know", and "It's Allright" would make even Dylan proud. The closing track "Island" was not on the cassette, but was added when she finally put this masterpiece on CD for me. - Thanks Kristen Kristen became a musical star as one of the band mates and the main songwriter for the country band Sugarland (with Jennifer Nettles & Kristian Bush of Billy Pilgrim). Her writing remains strong - I only wish that she sang more on their hit album & although no longer a member of the band I pray that she will continue writing her incredible tunes. I highly recommend all of Kristen's albums - each have incredible songwriting and heartfelt vocals, although sadly most are very difficult to come by. The stripped down acoustics of Real Life Stuff are true to Kristen's original live performances years ago. This is why it makes my list of the 10 best albums ever. Sadly out of print (like one other on my list - Buckingham Nicks), the CD is very hard to come by so grab it if you can - you won't be dissappointed.

This review is from: Real Life Stuff (Audio Cassette)
Like a previous reviewer, I saw Kristen open for the Indigo Girls. Was an absolutely amazing show and I had to steal a friend's copy of this cassette after I destroyed my own through constant play. Each song is connected to so many memories for me and I think I remember almost all of the words...I can't just grabbed one of the last copies and can't wait to share it with my daughter! Feeling VERY lucky to get it.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Real Life Stuff (Audio CD)
Until Amazon recomended this album I'd never heard of Kristen. I took a chance and bought the album sight unseen, or rather unheard. This entire album is incredible. Every track is a winner with Kristen's husky voice backed by her acoustic guitar, and Just So You Know is an absolute instant favorite.Kristen's voice is a bit reminiscent of Tracy Chapman and her lyrics and guitar playing are really beautiful. If you like the Indigo Girls or Tracy Chapman this is sure to be a new favorite for you. Be sure to check out Brian Vander Ark's album Resurrection and the original Buckinham Nicks album as well (Stevie Nicks and Lydsay Buckingham before they joined Fleetwood Mac. You'll play each of these again and again - worth every penny!!!
