CD Reviews

Fantastic debut!

Benjamin Norman | Washington DC | 05/29/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Susan Cagle does more than just provide us with a lush, thoughtful debut album. What she does is records it live between subway stations at Times Square and Grand Central Station, both during rush hour and late at night. So what you hear is what she is, these vocals aren't processed like most singers, these are live, raw, and beautiful. I would have liked more songs, as the album feels like it ends before it is time for it to end. Oh well. The music is simple, not amplified by electronic blips and synths, and no beatbox. All the instruments are live, all the emotion is real, and yes...those are real subway cars passing by in the background. What the result of all of this is, is a gritty, realistic feeling album that lends backbone and spirit to the amazing songwriting and talent of Ms. Cagle.

Buy this. It is amazing."

A Terrific Splash of Sunshine and Thought ...

"... is exactly what I thought when I first heard 'Manhattan Cowboy,' a toe-tapping breath of fresh air that deserves to be heard. Susan Cagle presents, in my opinion, folk music with a pop twist with her youthful, vibrant vocals in this debut outing that should find her on solid ground. While I could go on and on about what I like about her soulful lyrics and the value of the presentation here (the album was recorded at subway stations across New York), I'd rather heave the discovery to those of you most interested in checking out this stellar disk ... however, I will point you in the direction of 'Manhattan Cowboy,' 'Ask Me,' and 'Ain't It Good To Know' as wonderful places to start."

The Wonder from Down Under

"I caught Susan Cagle at the Times Square station in NYC last year and I have been a fan ever since. This album really evokes what her shows in the subways of NYC are like without the great experience of seeing the tired masses huddled around her and her band (brothers and sisters? They look an awful lot like her)and hanging on to her every word. Susan Cagle is definitely an anomaly in the city. Performers of her caliber are not found everyday...she should definitely be a star!"
