Album Notes

"The record is built around Hurd's brassy pipes and spirited piano playing, which waltzes and struts like a coy suitor on 'I Don't Know How to Leave You Alone' and swings like a Prohibition-era speak-easy on 'Taxes.' The songs touch on universal themes of love and loneliness, Hurd belting like Russian-American piano-pop diva Regina Spektor on 'Prove Me Wrong' and exhaling the words like hazy smoke rings on 'Just In Case.'

Recorded live in just under five hours one afternoon this past April at North Branch Studios, the album maintains the teetering-on-the-edge vibe of a live performance."

Andy Downing - Chicago Tribune (Jul 7, 2006)

Perhaps her best recording!

Emily Hurd always sounds great (be sure to catch her live). This CD reflects more of that immediate sense she displays when playing live. This is a CD you will return to again and again.

We first read about Emily in the local rag. After going to CD Baby and being blown away, we saw her live. She's so natural; we loved this cd.

Great variation in style and complexity - I bought the cd for my parents after hearing Emily live, and they love it too (they compared some songs to Joplin) We're so excited to listen as Emily's career takes off!

Emily is one of the best up and coming singer/songwriters out there. I've had the opportunity to see her live many times and allthough this CD is Awesome, she is even better live. If you get the chance I highly recommend seeing her!
