a Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
I was given this CD by a friend of mine who works at a club in town at which Garrison Starr was performing. He and his girlfriend saw the show and from what I hear, she's even better live than on recording. I wish I'd seen it. Garrison's voice is clear, strong and nice to listen to. Her songs are upbeat (mostly) and fun.
The radio friendly "Big Sky" is one of those songs that sound like you know it the first time you hear it. It's very familiar and appealing.
"5 Minutes" reminds me (especially vocally) of Marie Frank.
"Anytime" is a pretty song with this great phrase:
When I come apart
"Star Power" is also a potential "hit" if only some stations would play it! Good strong guitar parts and just plain fun.
Another stand out is "Knucklehead". She really rocks out on this song about the music business…"behold the hit music revolution…"
All in all this CD has a little bit of an Americana quality to it, but this is much more accessible to those that might not list that as their very favorite genre.
This is a bit more pop-folk-ish and much more fun to me, anyway. If you dig Sarah Harmer and the like, I think you'll like Garrison Starr.
