I heard this CD playing at a book store and picked it up. This is, by far, one of the best albums I've picked up in ten years. It's best if you listen to it from 1-11, but some of the individual songs are wonderful as well. This CD has mostly a jazzy sound, but there are some hip hop and pop sounds mixed in as well. I'm no critic so I can't explain it correctly, but I love this album! I've let several friends listen and they all really enjoyed it as well.

I learned about her from the iTunes Holiday sampler. I was playing her tract over and over again and it makes me feel happy. Decided to look for her album and voila! It was here for $5. I love her songs, her sentiments and style. I am an official fan now!
Norah Jones' Come Away with Me were being tagged as similar but I disagree. =)

I purchased this album based on a recommendation by Amazon, and I am so happy with the decision to take Amazon's recommendation! I listen to Meaghan on a near daily basis and am absolutely hooked on her amazing voice and soothing sound. Her songs are energizing but also calming and relaxing to me. I've shared a couple of my favorite songs with friends and they have gone out to get this album as well. My favorites on this album are Heartbroken and I Know. I can't wait to hear more of her music!

If you haven't heard Meaghan Smith yet,your in for a treat.This CD is totally different from the rest of the stuff out there.When I first heard it I didn't know what to make of it,but after a couple of listens it really begins to grow on you.To the point where you just can't get enough.If you like real music you might enjoy this,if you asked me.

What can I say about Meaghan Smith, this unknown gem that deserves to be well notice. Shes not some cookie cutter performing drone like something from American idol, or some gimmick needing hack like lady ga ga. Here is someone who is a real musical artist, singer, songwriter who deserves more publicity rather than be a secret gem in this mess thats now the music buisness. Its not rock, rap, pop music but if you do have an appreciation for music, i do encourage you to listen to her material, please give her a try you will not be dissapointed. Also do give "It Snowed" a listen if you can its not on this cd but on another one of Meaghan's and it to is great.

Step back into time with gentle and playful rhythms. The arrangement of songs are thoughtfully arranged, evoking innocent times of time growing up at Grandpa's home. Charming tunes and wonderful voice, Meaghan is talented performer. This album is a must have for those great Sunday afternoons, lazying about without a care in the world.

I bought this CD without knowing who she was. I was knocked out by her voice and song-writing. What a great nostaligic song "5 more minutes." What a find!

If I would ever be singer in another life, I would sound just like Meghan Smith. I'm so in love with her voice! She's also totaly spot on with intonation, phrasing, etc. Her voice tells a story and beautifully carries you along the way! This effort is a little too tame for me, as I like more upbeat tunes, BUT do not miss this album. Pick your favs and have a great time singing along!!

This CD came super fast! Thank you so much. Great quality for a used CD. Loved how fast it got to me.

Ms. Smith walked into my life via Amazon.com. I'm a fan of 20's-40's music (or, big band/swing, if you like). She makes that kind of music sparkle, but with an '00's twist. She makes Big Band/Swing-era music accessible for listeners of all ages.

The accompanying videos to some of the songs are top-notch representations of her range and her sense of humour as well. There's so much more to this album, and her other albums than samples can capture. I rate this a must-buy if you're looking for something a tad different from the "assembly-line" pop that's out there today. Besides, when is the last time you've heard of Big Band/Swing music utilizing a DJ to good effect?
