Tracy Marie is a compelling, brilliant artist. Bridging a seemingly improbable gap between some wildly disparate elements (I picked up folk-rock, new wave, gypsy caravan music, Enya, Madonna, and good old straight ahead rock and roll on the first listen) she has a style, sound, slant, hook, and look that will leave you breathless. I just got done spinning her CD "Sheik European Assassin Woman" for the first time and I am spinning it AGAIN. Hard-edged and melodic, intense and soothing, passionate and coolly humorous, Tracy Marie is one of those rare finds that are the reason why we tastemongers love our music. Unafraid to be completely experimental in structure and meter to make her points, she crosses textures and styles to make her own sound, and it is a beauteous one. "Nobody's Fool" takes you in 2 directions--- first it beguiles you in a swirling, major-toned puff of sweet guitar, and then drags you back to earth with a hard-edged minor refrain that surprises the ear and deepens the message of the song. I could go on and on about all of these tunes; from the dreamy "Highway" to the strident and pointed "All About The Family", from the skewed neo-classic "Whore" to the gypsy-caravan sweet sad mandolin of "Small Town Parade", but that would no doubt spoil the impact, so I will just add this: BUY IT. LOVE IT. LIVE IT. Is there a Tracy Marie fan club? Well, there is now, and I'm the prez. Oh, and she's really easy on the eyes too. A Big Star on the horizon.

tracy is a great song writer... watch out for new cd.. and a nice song.. the old oak tree...

Who needs American Idol or Star Search, when we have such a genuine talent right here in Cleveland, Ohio? I purchased the CD based upon a few things I heard on the internet, and have been very happy I did!!! Twenty listens later (maybe more!) and I am still blown away by the originality and talent that echoes throughout every song on this beautifully performed CD. Most musicians and songwriters could only dream of creating something this magnificent. If you haven't heard Tracy Marie yet, you are definitely missing something special. I would HIGHLY recommend this CD to everyone and anyone! :^)

I love this cd it has a soothing feel about and just makes me feel all calm and warm inside the slow music and touching lyrics really hit home i would definitely recommend this cd to anybody and everybody
