Discovering the Great Unknown!, February 21, 2000
Whether you are "sittin'on a mountain," in a "love funk," or wake up on the "wrong side of love" you will find yourself "opening the door" for Deanna Bogart's latest CD--"THE GREAT UNKNOWN." Walking down Duval street in Key West one Friday night after midnight I heard this "goood" music and had to discover what it was. I happened upon Deanna Bogart and untimately, the Great Unknown. If you drink from her cup, you will never be the same again. Her music overflows with richness, with spirit, with life. I like jazz. I like the piano of Jerry Lee Lewis. Deanna Bogart has the energy of Jerry Lee Lewis, but with a smoothness and style that is only Deanna Bogart. She attacks the keyboard with a crispness and flare that is captivating. Her music is well-written with content and with meaning that one can relate to. The talent of her entire band is evident. Eric Scott's voice really complements Deanna's. Kajun Kelly on guitar and Mike Aubin on drums are also true artists. If you like country, jazz, or blues, I would recommend "The Great Unknown." You can't stop yourself from falling for Deanna Bogart! Bravo Deanna!

A CD for All Music Lovers, November 8, 1999
I have seen very few musicians that have the fire and stage presence of Deanna Bogart. The Great Unknown does a marvelous job of capturing her charisma in studio form. Though Deanna is often associated with the blues genre, I found that this CD is more soulful and funky than bluesy. All songs were well written and recorded and display the great talents of not only Deanna, but the other band members as well. The songs on The Great Unknown have really hot, but appropriate, guitar, piano and/or sax riffs. I was especially impressed with the beautiful ballad "But You Know", which is a nice change of pace from all the other high-flying tracks. "Wrong Side of Love" is the best track on the CD for showcasing the band's talent. It has a great guitar lead from Kajun Kelley and a hot piano burn from Deanna. The bass and drums also make their presence felt on the "Wrong Side of Love". Every song on this CD is a great band effort. The music is very high quality and will never get old. Overall, it's a great CD to have for fans of any music loving genre.

JimJN, November 1, 2000
I'll take just a moment to add my kudos to the rest. Deanna and her band are an outstanding combination. Their exceptional, collective talent is obvious on this, her best CD release yet. I was lucky enough to speak with her about this particular CD. They put extra emphasis on generating as much energy in the studio recordings as they do at a live performance. The result is their best sounding, upbeat effort to date. It captures much more of their real presence than past efforts. Deanna can do it all; sing, write, play the Sax, Piano, Organ and she is real genuine good person too. Her band consists of a group of incredibly fine musicians. This is a polished, well put together CD. If you like Blues with a little boogey, a touch of Jazz, a dash of soul and a pinch of old fashion rock and roll then this is for you. What else is there?
