5 out of 5 stars This Lady Can Sing !!.......2006-03-19

I don't write reviews. Let me just say that you will not be disappointed, this lady can sing. Buy all 4 of her albums if you can find them. Mary Ann belongs in the national and world spotlight. This from an average guy who just enjoys great music. The eastern USA and Washington DC / Virginia areas are blessed because they've had her for 10 years or so, the rest of the world has no idea what they're missing. I recently came across Mary Ann's music as I was collecting Eva Cassidy's music. A few previews of her music on Amazon and then getting a hold of her albums hooked me into a true admirer of this great performer and her music. If you like the strength of Aretha Franklin's voice then you'll love Mary Ann, and if you like Eva Cassidy you have to love Mary Ann as well. This is a woman with a strong and passionate voice that you'll just fall in love with regardless of the style of music you enjoy. And by the way, the band is outstanding !! Like I said, this lady can sing !!!!

4 out of 5 stars Spotlight.......2005-05-14

This is a CD that's in my collection thanks to the sterling reviews on this web site. This is a strong outing from a powerful vocalist. Her covers are well done. John Hiatt's "Cry Love" is fully realized. Hiatt is such a unique songwriter that you can usually tell it's one of his songs even when another artist covers it. I was really surprised after listening to the entire CD in my car when a subsequent listening at home showed this was a Hiatt tune. Very impressive. "Stop In the Name of Love" is the MOST different take on this track I've ever heard. Slowing down the melody allows Redmond to really get into the lyric's emotional desperation. Jerry Butler's "I've Been Loving You Too Long" has been done by many singers. Mary Ann may not eclipse Otis Redding for me, but she certainly does a great reading of this classic sad song. My favorite track is Patty Griffin's "Time Will Do the Talking." Redmond gets an addictive groove going that sets your toe tapping. "Here I Am" is a great set from a singer who belongs in the spotlight. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars An extraordinary album!.......2004-03-23

Beginning with the first cut, "Cry Love," this whole album is just amazing. Mary Ann Redmond is a real talent, with a big, soulful voice and strong tunes. This was an experiment for me, but boy am I glad I found out about this lady and this CD. I found this album is easily, easily worth the money. If you have any interest in real gutsy vocals and something different than the shlock on the radio, by all means try this.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful voice,expression. Great CD!.......2003-08-28

Love it, love it, love it. Such a surprising and wonderful find. And I'm glad that I live in the DC Area. Going to go see her at The State Theater in October! Fav songs are "Time will do the talking" and "Because I Told You So" and all the others. Don't mean to gush too much. It's rare when I actually enjoy an entire CD and not just a track or two.

5 out of 5 stars STOP - Go immediately to the Record Store.......2002-08-16

A friend made me a CD of different people he wanted me to hear. Everything was pretty much as I expected until I hit "Cry Love" by Mary Ann Redmond. I backed the recording up time after time while trying to read his label for the artist performing this song. And then I got to the point in the song where she hits a note on "Cry Love" and holds it for 15-20 seconds - stunning.
I immediately rushed to the nearest record store and prayed that they would have this CD.
