Live or on CD, Cameo Hill performs hauntingly beautiful songs
author: Bruno
Having first seen Cameo Hill perform years ago at a Phoenix bar while I was grappling with a broken heart, I immediately loved the luscious melodies, straightforward guitar playing and hauntingly beautiful voice with which she sang such songs as "No Roses" and "Cherub Boys." "Pages of Green" includes both these tracks in a full studio versions that capture the essence of her superb songwriting.

A first class recording, I give it an A+

I like Cameo's music style, her songs on "pages of green" seem to be based on her personal experiences, her relationship with life and people. Cameo's lyrics are beautiful and complex (complex for me as I'll have to admit that I don't always understand the message). There are 10 tracks on this album, all worth playing over and over again. But probably my favorite track is "Cinderella," I remember her playing it at Patriots Square Park in 2002 when I first saw her at a live performance at Patriots Square Park in downtown Phoenix . Her driving rhythm on the title track "pages of green," with the both intellectual and emotional lyrics is also a favorite.
I've been a fan of Cameo's since late 2002 and am glad to see that she finally came out with her first CD. Cameo is an excellent songwriter, singer and guitar player and has put together a very nice album in "pages of green."
It's clear that Cameo put a lot of effort into making a first class recording, and I give it an A+. Thanks Cameo for one fantastic CD.

Adoring this Album
author: Linda Marshall
I love the poetry in these lyrics. Cameo's guitar has a simple melody to back up the deep phrases and an interesting- rhythmic percussive tone when the words are more simple. Anyone who likes a smoothe and expressive voice like Eleanor McEvoy and Joni Mitchell or the vulnerable subject matter of Erin McKeown and Gillian Welch will appreciate what's being given up in these songs.
