Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com's Best of 2000

Sliding in alongside her rock sisters Tori Amos and Aimee Mann, Kathy Fisher's edgy, sadly beautiful vocals and alt-rock prowess lay the foundation for True North, her major-label debut. --Michael Wells

Amazon.com

While some of the songs included in True North were culled from Fisher's 1999 indie release, One, their major-label debut is a treat for old and new fans alike. À la Tori Amos and Aimee Mann, Kathy Fisher (whose surname serves as the name for the partnership she maintains with keyboardist Ron Wasserman) makes edgy, sadly beautiful alternative rock. The older songs--"Any Way" and "I Will Love You," to name a couple--have been remastered and elegantly integrated into the new album to fit alongside one hook-laden track after another. From "Hello, It's Me," the bold opener, to "Miseryland," a bittersweet ballad, to "Breakable," a compassionate cry for understanding between the sexes that was featured in the Gwyneth Paltrow film Great Expectations, True North unveils a true talent to a broader audience. --Michael Wells

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music. You'll never get tired of hearing Fisher., October 24, 2000

The band Fisher (singer Kathy Fisher's last name) has been around for a while. The band became a star of downloads before signing with farmclub[...] I bought the original release CD, "One" over a year ago. Some of my favorite songs that have been carried over to this CD are "Hello, It's Me", "I Will Love You", and "Any Way". However, there is not a single song that Fisher has performed that I do not enjoy.

The music and lyrics are excellent. Very well-written and performed. Kathy's voice is too distinctive to compare to anyone else.

[...] You'll find that this CD is worth every penny.

Fisher's music sounds like a crisp and clear autumn morning. It's got kind of a quartermoon feeling to it; You know you're heading somewhere good from the moment you put it on.

But Fisher is also a lot more. She can be a sensual Tori Amos or a female version of Chris Cornell. Honest music. The kind of music you will have on the soundtrack of your life. The kind of music that will make you think of the ones you love.

I know my christmas shopping will be easy this year.

I just recieved Fisher's "True North", and I cannot believe how amazing this CD is. Kathy Fisher has quite possibly the sweetest voice ever, and every single song is heart wrenchingly beautiful, and easy to relate to. Not to mention how amazing Ron Wasserman's musicianship is. You owe it to yourself to buy "True North" - it is honest, beautiful, and quite possibly the only CD you will need to buy this year.
