This little cd is sensational. I had the good fortune to see Amanda live in Winston-Salem about 2 weeks ago and have been listening ever since.  My heart has just about melted away. Amanda's voice is georgous, sensual and enchanted. Every song here is a knockout and I can't wait to hear the full cd. The arrangements are terrific although I admit I can hear some horns that are not there in a few spots. But mostly these songs are hot and their creator is on fire. They suck all the oxygen right out of the room and leave you breathless. Amanda has put her vulnerability on display and we must all respond with enthusiastic support because this is the real deal and she needs to know how much her talent means and how far she has already reached. And although I'm an old guy, this music makes me feel young, in love, and hopeful for the human race.

"Up on the Roof" has a timeless quality that amazes. But I have to say my favorite is Amanda's take on Cole Porter's "Everytime We Say Goodbye". The sweet melancholy tones and pacing Amanda gives to this song never fail to take me to that soft spot in my heart and release sweet forgotten longings.

I have this recurring dream where I am lying in a field of pussy willows, eating pumpkin pie. Every so often a unicorn goes galloping by, draped in pearl necklaces. The unicorns drink from a lake of rootbeer floats. The music playing from the flowers is Amanda Baisinger.

The way Amanda sings "it's riding high and it's riding low" touches my Joni soul.  Beautiful natural voice with great warmth & depth with an easy feeling to it. "These Days" is on Repeat. I look forward to the release of the full album. Congrats!
