Judy Aron knows how to write a song.
Catchy hooks, singable music and thoughtful lyrics are a must.
Her songs reflect emotions and situations that every listener can understand and empathize with.
She has combined eclectic influences such as the 10,000 Maniacs, The Cure, Ani Difranco, and Radiohead into a unique style of her own.
Her unassuming nature and quirky sense of humor bring the listener in and the music keeps them there.

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.
