i saw her recently at the bazaar cafe in sf, and picked up this cd right after the show. she is amazing even with just an acoustic guitar, catch her live when you can! the album is fantastic.

This album is wonderful! I have spent many years trying to find something in female rock that is good, and not just a retread of something else, I found it with Lee’s powerful and unique voice and song writing ability. Each song is a trip into a new wonderful world.
Superb- waiting for the next serving!
author: Wolf E. RahlfsListening to this album makes me wanna stop doing anything I could be doing. The diversity of the material and versatility of the performer quite easily stomp on most of the mediocre mainstram crap we are force-fed daily through the principal radio stations. Songs like TRICKS or I NEVER offer perfect contrasting alternatives to what I would usually listen to in my car on a major road trip. Moreover, a song like LIGHT FALLS crashes over you with energy and determination... inspiring you to do what you've always wanted to do. The albums heart-piece, GOODBYE, is beautiful and a major achievement in musical arranging. And with NA NA NA Francesca Lee proves that you should also listen to her on a smooth'n'sexy dancing night out. Four stars for this Californian/Texan songwriting wonder. The only thing I want to know is: where will she take her exceptional individuality on the next album? Further and further and further... I hope. Well, I know.
