CD Reviews

Great Mix of Genres!
Kellie Lin Knott | Madison, WI | 02/21/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Great CD! What I like most about this one is that you get a little bit from each of the genres that Susan writes/plays in. This CD has some of the jazzers (I Can't Be New, Give Me Chicago Anyday), some of the SW folky classics (Time Between Trains, Barbed Wire Boys), some of the honest, emotional ballads (May I Suggest, After All of This) and plenty of the agnostic gospel numbers with full band. It also includes a fantastic live version of a song that defies categorization or explanation, the SW live show classic, Movie of My Life.



The whole record captures the warmth, humor and wit that is Susan Werner LIVE. It's a fantastic gift item if you're looking to introduce a new listener to Susan's music, because this CD is like SW Tapas. You get a taste of everything. ;)



Enjoy!"
A concert in my living room
Artist | Virginia | 10/19/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wow. Listening to this CD is like having my own personal concert with Susan in my living room. Since I've moved to rural Virginia, I no longer have the luxury of listening to Susan in person. Seeing her in person is a pure delight--she is an excellent performer in every way--and sings a song with such emotion, you'd think it was the first time she ever sang it. This CD captures all of the brilliance, talent and emotion found in her concerts. The vocals and harmonica of Trina Hamlin add energy and fullness to this recording--and take Susan's brilliant performance to the next level. If you wonder what Susan is like in concert, this CD captures that in a wonderful way. This is a collection of some of her best songs, and it is a joy to listen to. I never tire of hearing it."
Great CD from a wonderful singer-songwriter
Richard Fallstich | USA | 10/05/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I discovered Susan Werner as the writer of several songs performed by Red Molly. I have been a Red Molly fan for about a year, and had found that Susan Werner wrote "May I Suggest" - one of my favorite songs. Susan's version of the song is on this CD, and it's excellent.



The CD contains an interesting mix of musical styles: jazz, Americana, etc. She has a very engaging stage presence and it comes through well on the recording. There is a notable tilt toward agnosticism in some comments and songs, but as a Humanist I found it relevant and humorous. If this does not agree with your religious views, don't let that stop you from buying the CD. It's more tolerant than anything else, and the music is still great.



Hearing this CD has made me want to see her live, and am looking forward to a tour date in my area. In the meantime, I'll be listening to this disk a lot."
