Customer Reviews:
Her best cd yet!.......2003-05-19
Laura Love just keeps getting better and better. She is one of America's "unknown" treasures. I tell all my friends to LISTEN to Laura Love. Her range and tone are amazing and her top notch band is great! This cd is worth the money just for LITTLE BLACK BEETLE and HAPPY LITTLE SONG. It doesn't get any better than this!
Laura is one of my musical heroes
Another Great Album.......2003-05-03
It's been two years since Laura's last CD, the wonderful "Fourteen Days", but the wait was well worth it. This album features more of Laura's mix of funky bass lines and folky instrumentation along with the wondeful harmonies that are a consistent hallmark of her work. There are 11 songs, 9 original and 2 covers. The first "single" off the album is her controversial anti-war song "I Want You Gone", a song which many supporters of George Bush might take exception to but which I found to be very passionate and straight-forward. She does not mince words with this song. "Can I Get A Wet Nurse" is about how her life has changed since she became a foster mother. The title track deals with racism while "Santa Rosa" deals with what has happened to small towns and mom-and-pop stores. Her cover medley of Steve Miller's "Fly Like An Eagle" merged with The Beatles "Come Together" is a fabulous marriage of two classic songs with wonderful fiddle work by band member Barbara Lamb. Jenn Todd, who plays acoustic guitar, gets to shows off her fine voice on the closing song, a cover of the gospel tune "Talk About Sufferin'", as well as contributing second lead vocals to "Trickle Down", "Starkweather" and the aforementioned "Can I Get A Wet Nurse". Rod Cook on acoustic and electric guitars (a fine lead guitarist) and Chris Leighton on drums and percussion (another great player) round out the group and have backed up Laura for many years. There are many other fine songs on this album and I would recommend it very highly for those who love folk music as well as indie artists who do not cater their music towards the Top 40 market.
