My wife and I heard Samantha at a local dive in Santa Cruz. We were a little toasted from the party earlier, but we absolutely loved her on stage and her music. Because of this, we bought a CD. We woke up the next morning and got in our car for a drive and we looked at each other and said, "What the hell kind of crap is playing?" We both started laughing because we realized it was the CD from the night before. It was different from the performance the night before, which we dug.

A couple of days later, I popped the CD in while I was BBQing and damn it sounded good. Real Good! I had my wife come out and listen to it with me and she said, "Wait! that's not what we heard in the car!" It sounded great to her.

Soooo, now everytime I BBQ, I put in her CD. I'm wondering if the combination of hangover and music just didn't mix...

Plays a incredble Taylor Guitar. Great vocals and range. Lyrics that are thought provoking. Cant wait for some more music from her. She is a must buy.

I heard two of the tracks on this disc on a couple of stations on XM Radio and had to rush out and buy it even though I already bought K.T. Tunstall, Cat Power, and Robinella this week. It was worth it. The disc starts out very strong with "Missed the Sunset", "Don't Ya Know", and "Frank Sinatra". All very cool, funky tunes that sound like early Cherly Crow mixed with Sherri Jackson and Toby Lightman. O.K. it's cooler than that sounds. "Aesops fables and "Icicles" are also strong and the bluesy gospel of "The Party Life" near the end shows her more soulfull side. The disc is front loaded. The end is a lilttle bit of filler, preventing it from being a five star debut, but it's definately worth owning for the first three alone.
