Great voice and rocking music

"Tracy Bonham has a distinctive and powerful voice of the Janis Joplin kind, and she's not afraid to use it. I immediately picked her out on the background of an Aerosmith record, adding some nice punch to one of their tracks on Honkin' On Bobo.
She's a great composer of rock tunes, with some confident, satirical, feminist lyrics. "Behind Every Good Woman" is the best cut on this album, and if your local radio station didn't play it, shame on them. I bought the CD for that song, but once it got into my CD player, it stayed there for weeks. Let's hope Tracy keeps making full-tilt rock like this album."
A great artist... That's underappreciated!

"This album is just as great, if not greater than The burdens of being upright. Her voice is bluesy and her songs are lyrically funky, with that eerie strangeness that lures you into listening.
This album has more depth in my opinion, not that her previous album was anything less in quality whatsoever. Tracy is in the *Rarity* genre, Right in there with Fiona Apple, Liz Phair, PoE, and Veruca Salt. If you are into something *different* Tracy will blow you away. I'm eagerly looking forward to her album being released in June. ~amnesiacinsomniac"
