5 out of 5 stars Jules Rules.......1999-01-08

This album rocks. My band played with them when they came out to NJ. They were great so I got the CD. Since then I've been telling *everyone* about this band. You won't regret this...

5 out of 5 stars Tastes good, REAL filling.......1998-12-25

I keep coming back to this disc again and again, and hear more in it all the time. Over time you can come to see most of the tunes fitting into an inter-related whole that tells the story of a downright ugly personal collapse, carefully hidden in a guise of cleverly-hooked pop lyrics. It's sometimes too honest ("When I Snap Out Of This", "Porch Song"); other times when you think she's sacrified writing from experience to pop cleverness, you realize that the subject isn't what you thought ("Finger"). There isn't a single song on the disc that doesn't bear many listenings and bear them well -- even the pop-cleverest offering, "Baltimore Or Less", turns out to yield a rich vein of hidden story beneath the hooks.

And that's after all where the greatest strength of this disc is. Verdone seems to have that rare gift of suggestion that can embed a novel in a few lines of song lyric, and then fit them to a melody that brings the thing to life -- at least on these songs, she's in a class with masters of that art such as Neil Young, Ani DiFranco and Joni Mitchell.
