5.0 out of 5 stars What a great first record, December 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Small Time (Audio CD)

Grey is a great new voice on the alt-country (for lack of a better word) scene. The songs here have the honest and plaintive feel of a Gillian Welch or Emmy Lou, but all the songs are very, very catchy - watch out, they *will* stick with you, especially with the great 60's country feels of "Blue State of Mind" or the wonderfully heartbreaking "Free" and "Loving In The Past." Grey's voice achieves emotional greatness on the gorgeous acapella gospel tune "Calvary", and in the unbelievably sexy and atmospheric spanish "Sabor A Mi."

Grey Delisle is firmly in the school of Johnny Cash and Carter Family sincerity: Very tough, heartfelt, and with an unusually attractive atmosphere that occasionally stuns you with its mood or depth, and leaves you wanting more.

Grey is the real deal all right, and it will be very interesting to follow her early career. I don't know how she'll top The Small Time, but I can't wait to hear more output from her. Five stars, gladly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Is This Girl Not Famous Yet?, November 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Small Time (Audio CD)

You know how when you ask what kind of music people like, they inevitably say "I listen to everything...except country." Well, they wouldn't say that if they had Grey Delisle in mind. If you like Iris DeMent, Freakwater, Old 97's, Emmylou Harris, Lone Justice, and the Knitters, you will love "the small time". The songwriting will make you wonder how the hell half the acts in Nashville ever get signed when there are talents like this around. (And it doesn't hurt that hers is also the prettiest face to grace the alt. country scene since...ever.) So be the coolest kid on your block and get into Grey now, or jump on the bandwagon when she is bigger than Loretta Lynn...the choice is yours.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new sound in Country Music, November 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Small Time (Audio CD)

With a mimgling of rock,gospel and country Grey has created a sound all her own. Just when you think you'locked in on a style the style changes. No repetive beats here. Each song is a new experience. Great first effort. I look forward to more!
