As is so often in Hollywood, stars who become famous as children often don't find success when they grow up because audiences would prefer to remember them as the youthful symbols they once were. In music, I guess it's the same story. Some child stars like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder manage to continue to make music as they get older, sometimes even better than what they created in their youth. Janis Ian should also fall into that category. Her song "Society's Child" was a hit song in 1967 when Janis was only 16. While it was a great song in its own right, the fact that it was banned by most radio stations for its interracial subject matter was enough to make Janis a celebrity before she graduated high school. Proving that she wasn't a shot in the dark, Janis continued making music after "Society's Child". But there were times when she couldn't cope with the fame and, at least twice in her career, has turned her back on it all to both live her life and hone her musical skills. She first came back in the mid-'70s with "At Seventeen", proving to be one of the most astonishing comebacks in music history. She again retired in the early '80s, this time staying out of the business for 12 years. She then returned in 1993 with BREAKING SILENCE, an album that dealt with the realization of her latent homosexuality. Once again, Janis Ian was praised like she was the next big thing in music. But perhaps her third go-round in music has been her most satisfying and permanent, for she's probably making some of her best music ever, and she's now in her 40s. 1997's HUNGER was a slight bump in the road to her '90s comeback, but not a devastating one as some have seemed to say. The reviews for this album have been mostly negative, saying it is too long or self-indulgent.Read more ›

This lady rocks! A much overlooked talent of jazz and blues and guitar, too often viewed in the rear view mirror. (she was told she was a has been at 16!) Her maturity, born of personal struggle, comes through in her songs, as well as her heart. She is one of the most accessible, warm, genuine performers I have ever seen. There are a few torch songs on here that you want to listen to with the lights low and someone's hand to hold, and a few songs that you'll want to sing along with loudly with the windows rolled down in your car. Her music is diverse, uncategorizable, deep and true. Like the woman herself. Her integrity has kept her out of the spotlight, but she's been there for her fans all along. Treat yourself to this music.

I saw Ian in concert at the Willie Nelson 4th of July Bash this past summer - she got up with just an acoustic guitar and blew every band there (20+) off the stage. I bought "Hunger" in the hope of hearing her guitar work. Unfortunately, it's muted here, but that's fine because it introduced me to the songs. I don't know how she does it, but she says what I feel, over and over again. This album is a must-have for anyone who's ever felt lonely, alienated, or angry at a lover who's left for "greener pastures".

Janis Ian's hunger is a stark, sparsely produced and stylish album with plenty of interesting melodic arrangements to satisfy fans and newcomers to her music alike. Many of these tracks seem almost "live in the studio" and instumentally "stripped to the bare bones" such as on the tunes "Empty" and "House Without A Heart." A highly-polished project with rich orchestrations did not seem to be high on the agenda here which adds beautifully to the urgency and immediacy of this work. "Searching for America" is without a doubt the album's centerpiece and masterpiece...a true work of art and genius which fascinates the listener more and more with each play. Ian is certainly "searching" for something here...and on tracks like "Welcome to Acousticville" one feels like he is wandering with her in the desert in search of something to quinch and satisfy a thirst and a great longing. "On the Dark Side of Town", a tale of chronic infidelity and hunger for intimacy, is another track that grows richer with each and every listen. The tracks are musically and lyrically haunting, full of need, desire and a longing to be satisfied. "Getting Over You" is the ubiquitous Ian ballad on the album, poignant and melancholy. Initially, I did not view this album as being as cohesive as her earlier efforts...but subsequent listenings have proved it to be extremely thematic and beautifully consistent and textural in its presentation. A good listen that becomes a great listen as it grows on you.

Janis has a hit. Each of the titles tells something about America and society as it is today. Her smooth style shows a maturity with which I can relate. Ian's rededication to music is inspiring. Bring on more, Janis. I'll be waiting anxiously.
