"I first saw Terri Hendrix in 1994 at a small Italian restaurant in San Antonio, Texas. She sat on a "stool too small" (to borrow lyrics from her first release, "Two Dollar Shoes"), flashed her million-watt smile, and wowed me with her angelic voice. The fact that she picked a mean guitar was icing on the cake. I was hooked and have eagerly followed her career ever since. I've seen her in every sort of venue and in every sort of mood. She is one of a kind.After her third release "Terri Hendrix Live," I greatly anticipated a studio release. She has not disappointed me. "Places In Between" is a superb album and showcases Terri's strengths. From the semi-autobiographical title track to the rollicking "My Own Place"; from the bluesy "Goodtime Van" to the effervescent "Invisible Girl," Terri manages to bring a smile to my face on almost every song. As with her previous studio releases, she has also re-recorded tracks from her first album ("Eagles" and "Moon On The Water").Her band is the same as the "Live" release and is even tighter on "Places."Terri's talent continues to shine and with this release, I am assured that she will reach even more people with her superior songwriting abilities and musicianship.This CD is one of very few that is permanently in my CD changer.Try it....you won't be disappointed."

Best pick on my wish list

"I finally bought this CD for myself a year after I put it on my wish list (gotta keep track of all those desires, you know), and although I couldn't initially remember why I wanted to get this music, once I got it, I congratulated myself a million times over. What I should be doing, however, is writing fan mail to Terri Hendrix. Wow! She's a dynamo. Her lyrics are smart, funny, thoughtful, even danceable in places. Good Times Van and My Own Place are two of my current favorites, and in fact I believe it was My Own Place that I heard on folk radio up in Maine with the mention that it had won album of the year in some category that led me to hunt it down and eventually purchase it. I'd love to see Terri Hendrix live--her songs give some of the flavor of the energy she must have with an audience. But as second best buy this CD...out of all of the music I've purchased this year, this one is one of the ones I'm the most pleased about."
