5 Foot, 5 Star, Powerhouse
author: Bill Jehle
I've been a fan of Deb's work for many years. It's great to watch someone you admire for their talent grow as an artist and to not only find their own voice, but to shout out with it. Deb, together with her bandmates in Devi, have raised the bar with this release. Vocally, Deb hits right in the sweet spot of tone and timbre that reminds me of a well played tenor saxophone. Add to that that she's doing double duty with the guitar, writing original songs, belting them all out for the world to hear, and you've got the complete package.
My only regret, Deb is going to move out of underground status with this release. It's time though. She's paid her dues and is ready to conquer the world.

Get Free - Get It Now!
author: Steve Bastien
Get Free is an album everyone needs to hear! The production is well done, allowing each song it's
own, unique groove. The songs run the gamut from acoustic-based tunes like Howl At The Moon, to the
lusty, rocking Demon In The Sack.
Deb has a mastery of her instrument that is all her own. She can play it straight on, such as the
smooth cover of Runaway, haunting slide work on Welcome To The Boneyard, which was inspired by the
events of 9/11, or soaring leads in songs like Get Free. Her vocals are top-notch, too!
Dan Grennes on bass and John Hummel on drums are the backbone of this trio, and a perfect fit with
Deb. Did I mention these folks can jam?
The additional musicians and vocalists helping out really added some wonderful textures to these
already fine songs!
All in all, this is a great CD that offers up something for everyone. Buy it, you won't regret it!

I was born in Detroit and I love my rock n roll. Give me a psychedelic rock band with great songs and moody guitars and i'm as happy as a girl in fishnets. Get Free by Devi does it for me. The band is tight, funky and the guitars are beautiful. I love the slide guitar in"C21....", the post Beatle lovliness of "When It Comes Down", and the moody blues of "Get Free". Devi have made a beautiful CD. Put it on, lay back and groove.

The real deal...
author: John Prusinski
Debra and Devi are a breath of fresh air in a world of wannabes and clones... real, original rock music with a sound that's all their own. Even when performing a cover like "Runaway", the band puts their own powerful signature on the performance, and their original compositions burn with explosive energy. A highly recommended release from this free-spirited power trio!
