author: Bill King
(A Small Disclaimer Meg is a Friend ) There are times you can get a idea of what you are about to hear on a unopened CD just from the supporting players. Newcomer Meg Braun 1st Full Length collections of songs ‘TOMBOY PRINCESS” has a list of bold names from the Folk, Acoustic, Singer Songwriter Scene that you probably get away calling it a All Star Cast. Cheryl Prasher, Feebo, Pat Wictor, Keven So, All of Red Molly Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello. Neither they nor she disappoint. The 12 song collection runs the gamut of emotions. It’s Title cut “TOMBOY PRINCESS” puts perfectly to lyrics and cords a common family theme of a little girl and her parents who’s future projected paths do not necessary run parallel. But throughout there is hope that by songs end they will find a way for each to co exist they do of course. NEW ORLEANS has a super hook in it’s opening line of “She went to Sleep on a Chicago Sunday and Woke Up on a Louisiana Monday in a car of a man she just met” Gets you thinking right then “What is going to happen?” “When it’s Over” is pure pain and sadness “When it’s Over you know because you won’t’ care if it’s Him on the Phone” “When it Over You Know cause You’ll feel better being Alone” The pace of all the songs are Gentle and Easy but don’t be Fooled there Message may not Hit you on the Head with loud Electric Guitars and Drumbeats but you will get the message I assure you that .If your looking for a well written well produced (by Meg herself) CD Don’t hesitate purchase this CD then purchase a few for friends they will Love you for it.

Heartfelt songs, great storytelling
author: Robert
If you're a fan of songs that tell a great story, you'll love this record. Meg Braun's songs are personal and heartfelt, but always retain a sense of optimism and hope. New Orleans, Tomboy Princess and When It's Over are standouts in a record that is strong all around.

Tomboy Princess - GREAT!
author: Julia Towner
I love this album! Tomboy Princess (the song) brings me to tears every time I hear it, and there are so many aspects to each song to listen to, from Meg's clear voice to the instruments to the arrangements . . . each has a unique feel to them but they tie together cohesively and beautifully. I love hearing a little of Meg's sense of humor as well as a touch of cynicism, too. Excellent album!
