I remember the first time I heard Jen Foster. I works nights at a bar where music is being played constantly and since I have no control over what is being played, I have learned to tune the music out...until... Jen Foster took the stage and then proceeded to take my breath away! I found myself completely in the weeds that evening and unable to focus on my job. The first thing that caught my attention was her unique voice and style and once the lyrics registered, she gained my complete respect. I have followed her career from that moment on. Upon hearing this new CD "The Underdogs", my breath, once again, escaped me. This CD is not only musical entertainment - it is Jen - raw and exposed. It is a compilation of life experiences that we can all relate to in some way. This CD is filled with songs that will take you from laughter to tears and all places in between. Every song has its own individuality and purpose which commands your attention from each songs beginning. Once you hit play...you won't want to hit stop! The more you listen to it the more meaning it begins to take on.! I promise - you will NOT want to take it out of your stereo!!!!This purchase is an investment in the human spirit and you will NOT be disappointed!!!! It is a display of her growth in all areas of her work over the years and is most definitely her best CD yet!!!! I have introduced it to many and they have all made the purchase and are as impressed as I am!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An "Underdog"??? I don't think so!, February 9, 2006

This review is from: The Underdogs (Audio CD)

"A black and white picture, taken by a stranger, out in the streets of New Orleans..." so she begins "Taking Bob Dylan," the tale of a painful parting. As every good songwriter does, Jen Foster convinces you that that the photo and the wine bottle and the stolen blanket are yours. Foster's rousing background vocals are a blast to parrot as they lead you to the conclusion that she is (and you are) going to be just fine... especially when she finally, boldly and sarcastically asks, "tell me, how does it feel?"

Despite the heavy topics, Foster manages to give us something different: a serious album that, on the whole, is uplifting AND provocative.

While "Taking Bob Dylan" is THE anthem for the whole moving out ordeal, Jen Foster's singing and songwriting talents are evident throughout this album. "Without Michaelangelo" is a clever tribute to "greats" that she manages to make both playful and profound! Speaking of profound, "Amen" showscases the depth of Jen's writing and the strength of her vocals. And just when you think you know her music, you get "Sun in Seattle" which is reminiscent of something, I'm not sure what, but something well before her time... perhaps Simon and Garfunkel's somber stuff? I don't know, but in any event, veeeery cool.

The bottom line is this: if you're into cool, thoughtful lyrics and solid vocals, get this cd... then do whatever you can to catch the next Jen Foster show! Bravo to Jen Foster (and to famed producer Jeff Trott).

From the opening line "won't you please tell me where your going I'm on edge with this uncertainty" you begin the lyrical journey of "The Underdogs," both lyrically and musically this CD soars.
i can't remember the last time i bought a CD i could leave in my player for more then just a couple of songs. not only should you buy this CD, but catch a live show, you won't be dissapointed.
