"If you don't know Amanda Marshall listen to the sound clip samples here at Amazon, or look her up on YouTube, there are several videos available, you'll know if you like her right away.
For me... I love her music, I have been waiting for years for a follow up album to this CD. In Everybody's got a Story" Amanda marshall tells several from romantic ("Red Magic Marker", "Love is My Witness" Marry Me"),friendship and betrayal ("Colleen", "Brand new Beau") to dealing with bigotry ("Double Agent"), to a hilaious look at the consequence of partying a bit to hard in the 21st Century ("Sunday Morning After")to other challenges in life (" Witness", "Dizzy" and "Inside the tornado") .
One of my favorite hook"s from AM is her use of the parentheical thought. Here's an example from Sunday Morning After".
"I remember yellin' Hey DJ, Jack of all you might like this song.
(That's when it all gets hazy)
Now my clothes are sellin' on E-Bay and I don't know what I'm gonna put on. (Where were my friends to save me?)
So here's the deal,
Amanda Marshall is clever talented and beautiful, and it all shines through on this CD. what more could you want from a musician and an album?"
