Ferron (Un) Covers the Songs You Love

"Assisted with some of the finest musicians from the Bay area and beyond, Ferron covers popular tunes she grew up listening to and pining over. "Walk Away Renee" will break your heart; then "Needles and Pins" will set you dancing. There is a hidden cut at the end of the CD...listen for it. There is joy and, metaphorically, laughter throughout this wonderful album. The CD benefits the Institute for Musical Arts in Bodega, CA. Fun, fun, fun!"

Overdone, again and again

"Ferron is one of my favorite musicians of all time. I am used to her own personal style. This CD is comprised of songs I grew up with. After reading her explanation of this CD on her insert; I understand why these songs were chosen. Well done, yet disappointing to a Ferron "purist.""

Sappy, sophmoric, sloppy

"I have been a huge Ferron fan since first seeing her perform live in Vancouver in the 80's. And while I understand why she might have felt impelled to record this album, it should have stayed a private thing between her and her girlfriend. The production values are not up to even her live standards, and her singing sounds like she has had three to many glasses of wine. I resold this album after trying to like it for a month."
