Product Description
2010 release, the third album from the Vermont-based Rock outfit fronted by multi-instrumentalist Grace Potter. The band blends funky Blues, Soul and Rock influenced by bands from the '60s and '70s. Unlike other modern singer/songwriters, Grace has guts, gusto and knows how to Rock with the help of her ace band The Nocturnals. Grace Potter & The Nocturnals are like a modern-day version of Tina Turner stroking the microphone in a spangled mini-dress while fronting the Rolling Stones circa Sticky Fingers.
Review
"Her sultry, bluesy pop has garnered appreciation from hard-rockers and ballad lovers alike." -- Spin
"They are, without a doubt, one of the very best American touring acts today" -- Jambase

Grace Potter! I love artists who can use their voice as an instrument...Grace Potter's voice moves easily from purr to powerful, from sigh to shriek, always in context to the music. The Nocturnals are a fantastic band in their own right, able to rock hard and get down to blues and soul right along with Grace. Grace Potter, however, is the most dynamic voice in the business. When you listen to Grace you hear a force of nature like a hurricane and she takes you from the peaceful eye of the storm clear on out to the powerful rooftop-ripping edge of the thing! She and the band have been growing in range and confidence as they go. Paris, the first song, rockss you with punchy hooks and then Oasis, the second song, is Grace pouring out like honey from your speakers. So the album goes, changing moods, changing gears and finally ending with the sigh of Things I Never Needed. Get this album and you are going to want everything they have done - Nothing But The Water and This Is Somewhere are both worth purchasing...but save The Lion, the Beat, The Beast for last. Listening to their albums in order is a bit like looking through pictures of your child growing from baby to teenager. This group may have not reached their peak and that is intriguing! By the way, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals onstage are as dynamic as The Who in their early days, so if you get the chance to see them, go!

Who says rock and roll is dead. When one listens to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' self-titled album, it may appear one has stepped back into time when rock and roll really kicked with a hard edge that did not need an elaborate production except for a good brass section, backup vocals, and keyboards. But Potter and the Nocturnals stick to the basics, hard-edged vocals, guitar-drive, and a pounding backbeat that may be heard throughout the record. And indeed, the highlight of the album is the opening track "Paris (Ooh La La)" that is very reminiscent of the legendary guitar rock sounds of the 1970s with bands such as Heart, Thin Lizzy, Foghhat, Aerosmith, and a little of mellowness of Rickie Lee Jones and a hint of smoky vocals similar to Bonnie Tyler.
The unique aspect of listening to rock and roll music is that artists and bands that have crossed the threshold towards the rock and roll realm have also crossed boundaries and stepped out of the ordinary to produce unpredictable sounds that one may not have heard before. But if one has heard the sounds, especially on this record, it is quite an exhilarating experience to hear how different musical influences are emulated within the mix. Potter and the Nocturnals carry on the tradition with tracks "Oasis" Fleetwood Mac-like, very energetic "Medicine," the middle of the road "Goodbye Kiss" a nice pop tune with its subtle harmonica in the background,the ballad "Colors," and the other raunchy track "Hot Summer Night."
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals show that rock and roll is alive and well and that melodies and sounds of the past can still be produced in their own very special way.

I'm new to Grace Potter.... I ran into a cover of one of their songs on you tube. Did a search and found out Grace was the original band....listened to them on you tube and decided to add the CD to my collection. I have not listened to it enough to give a detailed report.

I had talked about this Grace Potter how big of a phenomenon, but I was doubtful even after listening to a piece or two. Then I decided I bought the self-titled album and after several plays, I found it to be not missed. It's no joke, I found the strength, the feeling, the emotion of Janis Joplin, Grace singing blues loud, ballads, folk and the band the Nocturnals give her a great contribution. This is their fourth album, but they are all really valuable. Low Road, Oasis and Paris are my favorite songs of this album and I can not stop listening to them! Her discography There are however also three albums that I could not find and which belong to the mystery: Christmas with Grace Potter & The Nocturnals Live at the Fillmore San Francisco December 13th, 2009 and Original Soul maybe engraved with contracts close hand (belonging to different labels).

This is one of my favorite cds. I bet that it's stayed in my truck's cd player for months. I have to listen to the Los Angeles traffic reports most of the time, but every song on this cd is easy to get into and I loved listening to them whether I'm stuck in traffic and need switch from the same traffic report over and over every ten minutes, or if I'm finally cruising along, singing along to "Paris", "Tiny Lights", "Oasis", or "Medicine". There isn't a bad track on the disc. I would really like to see the band perform live to see these songs performed. It's a cd you really want to be able to pop in, whenever you want to. Get it!

Love this music. The best new CD I have purchased in several years. 2nd CD I have purchased by Grace Potter and Nocturnals this year. The 1st was Nothing But The Water which was very good. This one is absolutely great. Every song outstanding.

It's been a long, long time since I've purchased an album and listened to it over and over, and over and over again. Seriously, this album is something I could listen to all day long. It brings be back to the 70's-ish sounds I've always loved. Some songs remind me of Olivia Newton John in Grease, others make me think of Fleetwood Mac, while others remind me of the Doors and even Dolly Parton. What a powerful voice! I love the range, from hard, gritty to soft and elegent. Immediately after listening to this album the FIRST time I decided to look them up to see them in concert. I haven't been to a concert since I was 24/25 years old... TEN YEARS AGO. My girlfriends and I have already planned on going to see them in Nashville. I can't freaking wait! I am buying the other albums TODAY!

Grace Potter is one of the many following on from the original inspiration of Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt and becoming a "girl with a guitar" like Joanna Connor, Susan Tedeschi, Samantha Fish and the excellent Joanne Shaw Taylor and playing some storming blues rock. Actually, Potter is a multi-instrumentalist, playing keyboards as well.

1. Paris (Ooh La La)
2. Oasis
3. Medicine
4. Goodbye Kiss
5. Tiny Light
6. Colors
7. Only Love
8. Money
9. One Short Night
10. Low Road
11. That Phone
12. Hot Sumer Night
13. Things I Never Needed
The album kicks off with the searing "Paris (Ooh La La)" a guitar-driven rocker with Grace's raspy vocal taking centre stage. The (at times) dreamy but sharp "Oasis" has some excellent guitar parts too but also a somewhat ambient groove, while "Medicine", from the initial pounding drums and Grace's "ahh ahh, ooh ohh" introduction, rocks. Big time. Great hooks abound throughout the song. Possibly the best track on the album. "Goodbye Kiss" sees the tempo drop a little in a slightly reggae-tinged romantic "slowie" with a bit of Hawaiian guitar thrown in there too. Some have expressed doubts about Potter's slower numbers. Personally I don't see why. If she wants to do them, so what? She does them well.
"Tiny Light" is similarly appealing, even in its Stevie Nicks sort of way. Lovely bass on it. I always look out for the melodious bass parts. Killer guitar at the end, however, as the volume cranks up considerably. Quite a few of these contemporary blues rock albums have little variation in tempo or feel. This album is different and is all the better for it. Grace indeed often changes the pace and feel of a song half way through. "Colors" is an excellent big rock ballad.
Then it is back to the U2-ish guitar intro of "Only Love". Grace's voice is superb throughout this album. "That Phone" has something of Lynyrd Skynyrd about it, in my opinion. I am realising that I am going through the album, track by track. Probably no need anymore, I think anyone reading this will have caught on to what sort of album this is by now. It is not as "pure blues" as say, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Susan Tedeschi or Joanna Connor. It is blues-influenced, more in the vocal delivery, than the guitar parts. One final comment, the sound suffers from a bit of distortion in places. Although rich and full, there is crackliness to it every now and again, in the louder bits.
Oh, and finally, I forgot to say I love the laid-back rock groove of "One Short Night". Lovely.

This band is one of best finds over recent times. They can play rock,blues rock,blues and a touch of country aswell. To have a multi instrumentalist in your band like Grace is brilliant. Grace has the type of voice that can belt you in the face and then softly caress you. As for The Nocturnals ,they play with dynamism and energy.

Cracking Disc.

Very rare you hear an album without any filler tracks. Each song is a mini event on its own. From the punchy rock opener Paris ( ooh la la) we're transported through a wide variety of sounds and styles. Honestly, this really is a great CD and your record collection will be better by its inclusion.

Really like Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Saw them live in Adelaide where they supported John Mayer. As far as I was concerned we saw two top performers for the price of one. would highly recommend any of her CD's (esp the most recent one).
