Album Notes

Abby Smith, a native New Yorker, has been singing since she was two; started writing poetry at age 10 and songs at age 18. Her purpose in life is to reach people and move them via their hearts and minds, funny bones and parts lower....Her vocal forte is the Blues -- she owns them (she's lived them) but she is equally comfortable with Jazz, Folk, Cabaret (Show Tunes), or even Country Western. Her song topics can be cutting edge: ie, Why men are so obsessed with their balls, Being the "Other Woman", NYPD abusing their power, A Country-Western Bisexual love song -- a Female version of BrokeBack Mountain (BrokeNail Mtn?). While Music Moguls have told her that her eclecticism will be her Undoing....her audiences get taken for an entertaining cultural adventure whenever they hear Abby live or on recording. One of Abby's most recent goals it to wake the world up to the fact that women facing menopause or past it are not only vital, but fierce and sexy, creative and Ready to Represent!

I just finishing listening to the whole CD and just loved it. Delightful, fun, insightful, excellent, are just a few of my reactions at various times while listening. Abby's voice reminded me of the first time I heard Lucinda williams when she was about 19 back in Houston, Tx I am not a musician or a critic but love great voices with stories to tell.

TERRIFIC ALBUM!!!
author: Matthew Lasar
                            
. . . especially the bicycle song ("Wheels of Two"), the Lucy-the-cab-driver song, and the wonderful live performances ("celibacy!" and "take me out to the ball game!"). Creative, witty, catchy rhythms, wonderful voice, lots of heart, what's not to love about Monitored For Quality Control???
