I first heard Emily Kaitz at the Free Woody Guthrie Folk Festival a few years ago. Her ability and atittude has stuck with me. Finding this CD was a trip back to a wonderful night. All of the songs are imaginative and funny (ha-ha, hummm or often both). My favorite remains "Susie Rosen's Nose" a sly poke at human vainity with a Hassidic tone. This CD cements her position as the modern day Homer and Jethro?

"Small Medium at Large" is my favorite song on this CD, and of all Emily's songs. It's witty, original, clever and very tender. There is a personal touch in the way that Emily sings and plays this song. I have a lot of friends "into the metaphysical" who appreciate the kind of sentiment that went into its creation. To me, it was worth the purchase price of the CD alone, and the rest of the songs are also very funny, original and upbeat. Thanks, Emily!

I have all of Emily's CDs (except for the recently released Twang, Twang, Twang) and Terminally Trendy is my favorite.  This album has a near-perfect mix of her inimitable wry humor and sensitive introspection.  Her supporting cast is stellar, with accomplished players like Mary C. Reynolds, Marvin Dykhuis, and Herb Belofsky in additon to those mentioned in the blurb.  Also, Sharon Gless harmonizes with Emily on many of the songs, adding a unique vocal quality that's not found on any other of her albums.  This is my "gateway" to 
Emily's work, and the one I recomend to anyone who has yet to hear her music.
