Album Notes

"Christa West's NOTHING IS NOT ENOUGH is the kind of superb debut that few songwriters create, much less ever record."
Performing Songwriter Magazine
(Full review below)

"The songwriting is far from the ordinary. The melodies take great little turns and the lyrics are smart and heartwarming...Either way you look at it, she's really good."

"West's music is textured, arresting and utterly authentic."

Full review from Performing Songwriter Magazine:
"Christa West's NOTHING IS NOT ENOUGH is the kind of superb debut that few songwriters create, much less ever record. West crafts dreamy pop jazz with a voice that will remind you of Natalie Merchant. The opening track "Just Drive" could be a Norah Jones B-side, about a roadside cafe waitress yearning for a lost love to return and "save me from this place". Romantic desire, consistent determination, and strong independence emerge lyrically, sparking a connection to Jewel that's early-career-living-in-a-van Jewel, not disco-hot-pants Jewel). Inspired by day-job sweat and spotlight ambition, she accomplishes what many only dream of."

Nice jazzy stuff

Christa West is on the jazzy side of pop. Her deep smooth voice is very comfortable and makes you want to sing along. Reminiscent of early Natalie Merchant minus the mush-mouth thing (don't get me wrong, I love Merchant's voice...she just tends to slur a little). The songwriting is far from the ordinary. The melodies take great little turns and the lyrics are smart and heartwarming.

I like the relaxed mood of the CD and the dark voice. The instrumentation is beautiful and I am pretty glad that I can add this CD to my collection. A nice piece of art.

Make room for this CD in your collection!
author: Sharon Moffitt
                            
If you like Nora you'll like Christa. Sweet lyrics sung with an old-fashioned sultry voice reminiscent of white female artists like Rosemary Clooney and Peggy Lee who made a place for themselves among those great African American blues singers in the 50's.
