 "Empiric Lyric"
by Karen Fay

a Review by Amy Producer of Collected Sounds

The cover art had me expecting very quiet "girl-and-guitar" folk. That's not what's inside. What you'll find here are rocks songs with full instrumentation and solid lyrics and vocals.

"Don't Know" is a great way to open the CD as it has a very catchy melody.

"Company Man" is a little harder and has a guitar line that is a tad 80s-ish.

There are a few folky songs here. Track 4, "He's Leavin'" is a little more in the singer-songwriter vein with pretty guitar parts and softer vocals, but it rocks out a little halfway through. A nice song.

"Knowing What Love Is" is also in this style. My personal opinion is that these songs suit her more than the rock ones. Or maybe I just like them better. Who knows?

"Ignorance is Bliss" is a fun song.

This is a nice recording all around.
