There's no doubt about it: Trick Pony rocks! Whether it's a male or female singing out the lead vocals, this CD is cram-packed with wonderful tunes. Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings have--you've no doubt read--joined up with the trio on "Big River." While I'll admit that those two are talented, and make a great combination with TP (NOT toilet paper), my personal tastes run toward the more contemporary songs. "Every Other Memory" is a wonderful ballad, and is followed up by a harmony-master piece "More Like Me." "Just What I Do" is my favorite, combining great harmonies with a nice, fast-paced beat. "Stay In This Moment" makes you want to grab your loved one and curl up beside the fire. "On A Night Like This" and "Spent" are also greats. "Can't Say That On The Radio" is a slightly-ironic-humored breakup song. Trick Pony may be new to the stores, but they're a legend in their own way, and they'll be here for quite some time, making us dance and cry (at the same time!)

This is a reminder of the kind of music with which Highway 101 shook up Nashville in the late eighties, Trick Pony are not quite as good as Paulette and the boys were, but they still have a lot going for them and should not be ignored.

The opening Pour me (as it's title suggests) is a great drinking song which really rocks, as most of the songs do. Lead singer Heidi shows she can be more than just a good-time rocker in a few songs, particularly on Now would be the time, a great country ballad, but it is the rocking songs that really matter here.

On a few songs, one of the men sing lead, but the style remains the same. This is great music for having a good time, far removed from the image some people have of country music. If you know somebody who think country is all about crying in their beer, this is one album that will shatter that image.

This CD is so GREAT! I recommend it. What I love most is how fun it is and how catchy and well sung the songs are. I love the Outakes...I was rolling. I love every song on the CD and I swear I keep listening to it over and over! If you like good ole honky-tonk country with a whole lot of FUN get this CD!! You wont be disappointed!

Thank you!!

Because that is what I thought when I heard this group and their toe-tapping first single "Pour Me". If this song does not make you want to move, check your pulse! "Party of One" is another women's anthem. (I saw an interview the band did and they said "Pour Me" was written as a women's anthem, I swear). The third track "Big River" is a fun romp, featuring Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. "Every Other Memory" is a haunting ballad - Heidi's voice will give you goosebumps. "Just What I Do" is a great song about what some of history's greatest figures did when they weren't "getting any". "One in a Row" has a great Carribean beat to it and is a great, upbeat, fun song, very much how Trick Pony is. "Now Would Be the Time" is another great ballad. Another notable track is the final "Not Hidden Track", it is hilarious outtakes from the studio and introduces the world to Heidi's 'snarf'.

This disc is a MUST HAVE!! Heidi's voice is phenomenal and Ira and Keith play with a real zeal that has been absent in country music as of late. They are kind of like the country Fleetwood Mac, I hope they will be around as long.

This is a really enjoyable CD. Not your usual mainstream country stuff. Its full of energy.

That lady has an excellent voice. Besides one or two average songs the rest are really quality stuff.

Buy it !!!

This is a great debut album. But then I don't claim to be the be all end all expert on country music, I just listen to be entertained and this album not only entertains, it rocks.

If you're looking for a toe tapping good time look no further, this cd is the best! With the slow haunting melodies interspersed with the loud rockabilly party music, it is a tasteful and fun mix of three beautiful voices. And if you really want to see something, go to one of their concerts, they are so full of electricity and life it will knock your socks off and leave you screaming for more!

I love this CD!! I own over 500 country CD's and this is one of my top 5 favorites!!! This CD contains the perfect deffinition of today's country music. It's not too country and it's not too rock! I love Heidi, Keith and Ira-their incredible voices and awesome instrument playing are the best!!!! This is a must have CD for every music fan!!!
