Editorial Reviews

Room is a combination of original songs penned by Katey including "Life Goes Round", "Daddy’s Girl" and "Wish I Were a Kid" and memorable classics like "Feel a Whole Lot Better" and "(For the Love of) Money".

"This CD began during a transitional time in my life.", Katey said. "I phoned my friend, Bob (Thiele), and we began in one room to put it together. We picked songs that gave voice to where I was. I wrote a few and borrowed a few and together they built this room."

Room was produced by Bob Thiele (Bonnie Raitt) and mixed by Ray Kennedy (Twangtrust/Steve Earle). Ivan Neville, Don Was and Shane Fontayne make appearances throughout the disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR MS. SAGAL!, June 1, 2004

When people think of Katey Sagal... they think of Peg Bundy! Or Cate Hennessey from 8 Simple Rules. What I don't think they know is how incredible Ms. Sagal can sing!

Ten years has passed since Ms. Sagal's last release, "Well...". That was a beautiful CD that I listen to over and over again. After listening to "Room" a couple of times, I can tell this I will play this CD many, many times as well.

"Heaven is..." is a beautiful, haunting song and I love to hear Ms. Sagal sing it. Daddy's Girl (which she performed in part on 8 Simple Rules) is also beautiful, And "Feel a Whole Lot Better" is worth a mention too.

Every song on this recording is an accomplishment for the lovely Ms. Sagal. I strongly urge you to buy it. I would also like to mention the tasteful "thanks" in the liner notes to the cast of 8 Simple Rules and to John Ritter. There is no mention of his untimely death but the "thank you" gave me chills none the less.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Impressed, June 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Room (Audio CD)

I bought Katey's first album, "Well," when it was released in 1994. Now 10 years later, Katey has delivered the album that should have been her debut. Her voice is strong and unique. The song selections are all excellent choices for her. And she displays maturity that is lacking in today's artists. Too bad not enough people will give this album the chance it deserves. It is well worth the $15.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant Surprise!, July 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Room (Audio CD)

If you're thinking about buying this CD--buy it! You won't be disappointed. I liked the song, Daddy's Girl which she sang on "8 Simple Rules" and bought the CD for the song. Surprised she didn't mention James Garner in the notes. He saved the series! Back to music: It's a blend of folk, country, and a little rock 'n roll. My favorites are: I'll be Long Gone, Catch the Wind and Wish I Were a Kid Again! Well done!
