It's been over two years since guitarist/singer Ana Popovic released her last album, but her latest, "Unconditional," has made it well worth the wait. Recorded in New Orleans, it successfully fuses classic and contemporary blues into music with high energy and lots of passion. Her guitar playing is amazing and her vocals are as smooth as honey. Soulful and virtuoso are words that come to mind when listening to her play. The album also features the amazing slide guitar of Sonny Landreth and the talents of Jon Cleary and David Torkanowski on hammond B3 and piano, Calvin Turner on bass and Doug Belote on drums. The title track, "Unconditional," has some unbelievable guitar work but also incorporates a beautiful piano which adds depth to the song. Jason Ricci makes a guest appearance and plays the harp, adding a unique and beautiful texture to the sound. I love the backbeat drumming on "Slideshow" that has a huge, pounding bass line and delivers with nothing short of a sonic boom. "One Room Country Shack" showcases Popovic's talent as a musician. She simply SHREDS the guitar on this song and it will leave you breathless. "Summer Rain" is another beautiful song that really shows the depth of Popovic's talents as a vocalist. She is sultry and powerful at the same time and the guitar solo somehow sounds like falling rain. If you like your blues straight ahead with touches of soulful jazz and beautifully raw vocals, you can't go wrong here. Highly recommended!

Ana's last album was a change of pace, what with falling in love and having a baby -- it was a different kind of album.
Unconditional is a return to form -- a blues album with outstanding guitar work, great vocals, and a wonderful collection of guest artists (Sonny Landreth and John Cleary from New Orleans where the album was recorded), as well as Jason Ricci on harmonica. Her songwriting is also excellent, as always. Her originals are mixed with a few old blues songs she loves. This album also showcases Ana's versatility. The instrumental slide duel with Sonny Landreth, "Slideshow," is a highlight.
Hopefully, this can be Ana Popovic's breakthrough album (they've all been excellent) in the U.S. Ana should be playing stadiums in this country instead of small clubs.

Bsides being hot (you may have noticed the cover), Ana really is an amzing slide player and song writer. Her singing is developing over time, as her accent sometimes stands in contrast to the great lyrics.
Sonny Landreth sits in on part of the CD< and they play very well together - he kind of pushes her along.
Overall, 4.5 out of 5....

not to sound like a complete hound-dog, however...
I wish you would have moved that stratocaster out of the way for the album photo... Also, I love, love, love, the placing of the "P" on the album cover for where the "Popovic" is. Read more

True, I've heard some people bring up the subject that her Serbian vocal accent is a bit too heavy, but that don't bother me none. I can still feel what she means. Read more

Exciting
I like the acoustic laid back feel of "Fearless", the pulse is up on "Count Me In", and the neat addition of horns on "Soulful Dress". Love the duet on "Slideshow". Read more

in love with ana
I enjoy blues sang with passion and hearing a guitar masterfully plucked, bent, abused and caressed by a talented soul and this is a fine example of blues done well.
