This songwriter's showcase defies conformity. Ms. Jackson delivers each song with an underlying raw sincerity and polished arrangements (by Peter Dobson). "World Rock Fusion" as Tina Jackson calls it is an original folk music by this fans definition born from true art straight out of the heart of the woman who wrote it. Cuts like Change Some Things and Canary Yellow Carrera actually paints portraits directly from her life and joys and muses. She takes you into the tragedy and disappointment of the death of a good friend in Nine One One, but gives you an escape route lined with hard hitting rockin' riffs that leave you chanting mer.....cy...... with the back ground singers. There's bright moments and dark moments, laughter and tears. This medium of Rock, Blues, Gospel, Jazz, Soul, Bluegrass, and yes, even hints of African and South American rhythms is a glowing asset to any true music lovers collection.

I loved this CD! Wow, who is this newcomer?. Are there more where she came from? The music had passion and soul in the vocals. The instrumentation was provocative and raw. You can really FEEL Ms. Jackson's words. 'Dark Water' has a hard-hitting beat that you'd have to be dead not to feel. The combination of vocals and accompaniment was masterfully produced. This is a genuine work-of-art and not just entertainment. You cant help but tap your feet and bob your head throughout the CD. There is also a professional/polished quality in Tina Jackson's voice there that only enhances the listening experience. I love to crank this one up in the car so the car next to me and feel the beat! Can't wait for the next CD. Count me in as a fan.
