"Sometimes you take a chance on a CD by a new artist and are completely taken by it. I am happy to report that this is such a CD. The material is at once original, yet entirely accessible and somehow oddly familiar, like seeing a smiling face on the street that looks like a long lost friend, only to find they are your best NEW friend. The musicianship is top-notch and the production is appropriate. There are no turkey songs or throw-aways, each one is strong and sticks with you. In what may be my favorite CD this year, Kara Maguire presents them with passion and style. Oftentimes when listening to a new CD (and perhaps this is even more true of contemporary blues artists), you wish the performances were a little different...a note held here, an adjusted phrase there, but not so with Kara. She has it down and I wouldn't change a thing. If you have any doubts about buying it, doubt no more. Just buy it! This is one "Nobody's Girl" that should be everybody's girl."
