Synopsis

Product Description
Formerly the lead singer of Trick Pony, Heidi Newfield steps into the next career chapter with her solo debut, What Am I Waiting For. The album features six tracks co-written by Heidi including the album's crown jewel, Johnny & June. Of the album, Heidi remarks, I really was only interested in cutting a record that was going to step out and have some relevance in this day and age, when we are head-to-toe in pop culture, videos and imagery...we don' t always listen with our ears anymore, we listen with our eyes. The album s depth showcases Heidi' s trademark vocals in the stunning despair of Wreck You, the inspiring title track What Am I Waiting For and the raucous and hilarious Knocked Up.

Amazing Debut Cd From Heidi Newfield
E. K. Riley | Indianapolis, Indiana | 08/13/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Heidi Newfield decided to take the leap and go solo, after being with the great band Trick Pony. This cd has a little bit of everything, not like the cookie-cutter junk that passes for country music these days.

The disc opens with Can't Let Go, one that starts off with just a few instruments, then the whole band kicks in and rocks it up a notch. When Tears Fall Down comes next, a mid-tempo song with layered background vocals that flow very smoothly with the song. Next we have the hit single Johnny And June, a song about finding that one true love, and already a fan favorite at Heidi's live shows. The title track, What Am I Waiting For, comes next and was co-written by ex-bandmates from Trick Pony, Ira Dean and Keith Burns, with help from Jeffrey Steele. A song with lyrics about taking risks and doing what you really want to do, and set to a bouncy melody. The fifth song is Love Her And Lose Me, a ballad about adultery and wondering about the other woman. Cry Cry ('Til The Sun Shines) is next, and is a catchy song, more of the country/pop variety. Next we have Wreck You, a very haunting and beautiful song that definitely stays in your head. Nothing Burns Like A Memory recalls the type of music that Trick Pony did, and Ira Dean is one of the writers on the song. Next is All I Wanna Do. A very slow song, and Heidi's voice has never sounded sexier than it does here. The cd closes with "Knocked Up", a song that has single potential, and is a fun song. I love this whole cd and have been listening to it contantly since it came out.

Heidi really sings on this cd in ways we didn't get to hear when she was in Trick Pony, and also was one of the writers on six of the songs.This cd is an amazing start to Heidi's solo career, and you can hear the effort she put into this.

Watch for Heidi opening some show for Brooks and Dunn this summer, and also touring solo."
Another great cd for the summer

"Heidi Newfield has come into her own with this cd. There is Love and heartbreak on this cd. This is one cd that i can really relate to. I loved Trick Pony and when i heared that she was leave the group i was sad but at the same time was excited to see what she could do on her own. I heard Johnny and June and i fell in love with it. Can't stop listening to it."
What we've been waiting for!

"Heidi has done it again. She's created a great CD with songs that reflect her many talents as both songwriter and singer. She says it all in the song her grandmother says is her favorite-What Am I Waiting For-when she shows us what we've been waiting for - another hit CD. You've still got it, Heidi, and we love it! Her gutsy voice reflects the feeling behind the well-written words in the songs and I know it's been worth waiting for. Great job and great CD."
