I first heard Catie Curtis at a music festival in Seattle a couple of years ago. I had no idea who she was, but my boyfriend and I were literally drawn in from the sidelines by her voice and melodies. It was a smallish show (especially compared to the many "bigger" or at least better known acts that were playing that day), and it was outside. As Catie played, the crowd, *literally*, grew bigger and bigger. People stopped what they were doing just to listen to her. She was fantastic. Highlights of her show and of her CD's are the track "Radical," and, "Falling Silent in the Dark," and the wonderful "Soulfully." The two of us were torn between what to buy. We knew we had to get one of her cds because her music was so soulful, so heartfelt, so magnetic, but we didn't know which ones to get. We compromised and got one each. I bought Truth From Lies, and he bought her self-titled, newer cd. I actually think I prefer the self-titled, because it has my favorite tracks, "Soulfully" and "Falling...". But Truth From Lies also has its place in our cd collection. I perhaps like it the most for its simple and blunt discussion of homosexuality in the song "Radical." It's simply a great song, with great, clever lyrics, and she tells a book worth of meanings and heartfeltness in just a few words. Another favorite is the first track, "You Can Always Be Gone."

Take a second and read the back of the cover before popping this cd in. The words ring true for Catie's music. I'm truly surprised she hasn't had more exposure. I think people (well, people besides you) are missing out. Enjoy!

I first heard this CD when a friend of mine wanted to play me the song "Radical." I loved the great melody, guitar playing, and beautiful lyrics. I went out and got the CD and out of my whole collection it is definitely it my top three most played CD's. Troubled Mind is a beautiful duet. I also love Slave to my Belly. The Cd is full of great songs and a real appreciation for life. I recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of great female musicians.

4.0 out of 5 stars open hearted and true, August 1, 1999

There seems to be an epidemic of comparisons in todays music culture; Curtis, like all artists, deserves to be appreciated for what she puts forth into the somewhat brutal commercial sphere of music. Her efforts on this album ring forth clearly. She is truly a rare artist who seems focused on expression and not other people's perception. I have been lucky enough to see her live in a small setting; she carries within her an uplifting honesty and integrity in her lyrics, music, and performance. She is not to be overlooked soooooooo check her out!
