Editorial Reviews
Highly-anticipated debut album from the April Smith and the Great Picture Show. Includes the single 'Colors' Touted by Perez Hilton as "the kind of tune you'd hear on an episode of Grey's Anatomy or in the next iPod commercial. It's sweet (which we love), quirky (which we love) and hooky (which we love).". Also includes "Terrible Things" featured on Showtime's hit series "Californication." RollingStone.com says "It's possible you haven't heard much about April Smith but all that is about to change. This Brooklyn singer-songwriter combines country and swing, making crackling songs that wink and smile and sway. She's got a rich, plummy voice, and she lays it on thick over a taut guitar strum, making for music as long on charm as it is on melody". Features 11 tracks.

I heard this group perform "Wow and Flutter" on 'A Prairie Home Companion' (they won the band competition) and decided I had to find more of their music. THANK YOU, AMAZON.
I downloaded this album and I've enjoyed every track.
This young lady has an unbelievably powerful voice with a great vocal range. She's also a very accomplished guitarist.
She and the rest of the band just fit together, and the eclectic selection of songs shows their abilities.
I think they'll go far.

This is the best album I have heard in ages . Not only are the vocals great,but the band takes the whole album to a new level . The lyrics paint pictures in your head and you can't stop singing and tapping your toes. The ballads on this album are so beautiful and really show off the range that this singer has This is a must have album for any one who is sick of listening to the top 20 every day. Buy It now. You won't be sorry!

To simply put it, if you listen to the sample of this album, and like it, then buy it. You get exactly what you hear, and not only are the songs catchy in their musical aspects, but the lyrics are too. Considering that this album was paid for by donations from fans, and I am a new fan, I feel bad that I missed out on the opportunity to help this great piece of music start. 5 stars, and I'll donate for the next one if need be.
