Awesome!

This album lives up to the great live shows the Locals put on... I think everyone agrees it's a perfect mesh between Dave Matthews and Ani DiFranco. The lyrics are truly inspired, and the music is a perfect match. This is one CD that *every* person should own at *least* one copy of... If you don't have it already, buy it *now*!

I made the mistake of reading the press after listening to this album a few times because I realized the exact thing I wanted to say about the band was the same conclusion everyone else has already came to. But here it is anyway, Yvonne Doll and the Locals sound like a sort of cross between Ani DiFranco and the Dave Matthews Band. And on their album, tey take this sound and make it absolutely stunning. The first track, 'Unglued', is a wonderfully catchy track that college radio should adore. The band is acoustic featuring a violinist, which is what makes the sound unique, by the way. On 'Winter Skin', the violin steals the spotlight from Yvonne's vocals here and there. The backing vocals on this tune make it particularly stand out from the rest. Another radio song, I do believe. The album as a whole is quite satifying, a perfect listen for those times when neither speed metal nor gregorian monks are appropriate.
