great melissa cd!
Great Cd! Not my favorite of Melissa Ferrick's (freedom captures that spot!) but still amazing. I bought it at her concert a few weeks ago and haven't stopped listening to it since. "All For me" (#5) is great... a little more poppy than most of her stuff, but you can't help but love it. "Back in love" (#3) is another favorite, "Thinking" (#10) is a great ender... i like nearly all the songs. Don't expect the same thing as "Freedom" because, as with every one of Melissa's cd's they are completely different and captivating in their own sense. The mood of this cd... more peaceful and at ease than any other cd. it seems convey acceptance of where she is in life...

Almost Perfect...
Today I finally got my ''Listen Hard'' cd by Melissa Ferrick. I had been downloading that 2:00 minute clip of ''Burn this Guitar'' over and over I figured, it was over due to throw down. Burn this Guitar is literally one of my favorite songs ever & Coming from a musician, musicologist, straight up music critique... thats a serious compliment. This album is rocking & catchy & straight-up Proffessional sounding. In fact, I think this specific album maybe one of the best albums for sale at CD Baby period. ''Burn this guitar'' is the standout track but it doesn't stop there. '' Selfish Side'' is filled with heart and soul. & ''all for me'' as well as ''marrie in the middle'' are also great sounding stand- out songs. Over all, I give this record a solid 4 stars, must have, alternative folk-rock record. Seriously, Buy this record ! This is a good Melissa Ferrick starter CD if you dont have one of her cd's yet. & I can only pray no one ever Burns Melissa's guitar. ''Listen Hard.'' Sincerly, J-Ball. www.JBallmusic.com

Ahhhh Melissa. When I first listened to this cd, I just had this feeling that I was riding in a pickup truck in the country with my hair blowing and my bare feet hanging out the window. Relaxing, empowering, kick-ass guitar riffs. And of course, as always, beautiful vocals.

This album speaks loud, speaks true, speaks hard...
I was able to catch a gig on the Listen Hard tour back in December and the moment I bought this album, the memories replayed themselves in my head - The songs You and Back In Love touch me in very emotional ways. The power and feeling in the words of this album are undying. Listen Hard... and then listen again!!!

I really love it
So many of Melissa's lyrics go right through me, bumping into my heart my stomach, my lungs and my tearducts along the way...her stories are so personal & so universal at the same time. All the songs I love, the ones that stand out for me are "Burn this guitar", "You", "Fighting chance", "Let's Fly", oh, lemmie think...there's more for sure...Check it out for yourself! Listen to it several times over, read her lyrics (unfortunately for Melissa, whoever printed them didn't double check for stupid errors, so there are some), let them sink into you, let her sink into you. She's beautiful. These songs are the closest most of of will come to see that in her.

warming up
I'm a new Melissa fan and I bought "Freedom" at her show back a few weeks ago. I then bought "Skinnier Faster" and this one. "Skinnier Faster" was more enjoyable cause I already knew the material, "Listen Hard" is taking a bit of warm up time, the style seems quite different....
