Lyrics are unbelievable! From "Dear Kitty" which is about Anne Frank and then "Perfect" is something everyone can relate to. Check out her second CD: The Last Thing on your Mind.It's another great one!!

Judy Aron is a singer-songwriter worth listening to
author: Amz Musiczine - Joe Hartlaub
CURIOUS JUDE is a warts and all project, with some of the insecurities of recording left in the mix. Aron's voice is a bit thin in parts, and she doesn't have the guitar chops of Bonnie Raitt.
But, interestingly enough, these minor quibbles work in her favor on this material. I was reminded in spots of early, "Marlena on the Wall" pre-techno Susan Vega. Aron's strength here is in her
lyrics, which on occasion, reach the level of pause-and-repeat. On "Stay," Aron slips quietly from despair to hope in less than three and a half minutes, and does it quite adroitly. "Some Day"
implores a friend (lover) to wait until she's ready to open up ("some day I'll step outside the walls/and welcome you"). "Construction on Madison Avenue" strings together advertising slogans
which have ensconced themselves in the American consciousness and turns them into a love song. This is a risky trick -- in the hands of a lesser talent it would have made for a cute train wreck
-- but Aron brings it off quite nicely. She also manages to sum up the whole Mars/Venus debate in one line from "Devil's Advocate" --- "I can talk in circles/while you can speak in lines."
Yes, there is a lot going on here. CURIOUS JUDE is an introspective project, and hopefully the first of many. Hopefully Aron will give us more songs as well. Recommended.
