 Underrated
Submitted on: 2007-12-02 |

| Tracy is kinda perceived as a one-hit wonder, and the fact that you can get this CD for a penny kinda reinforces that image... well, take advantage of that opportunity and you may be surprised how well the whole album holds up to repeated listening. I really dig the more punk-ish songs with their high energy and playful harmonies but overall the whole thing is well done and enjoyable. |

Geetar toting Rock Chick's Excellent Debut!
Submitted on: 2007-02-22 |

Tracy is a classically trained violinist and pianist, who has plenty of talent, and her songs are compelling listening. This album, released in 1996, was her major label debut. It went Gold, and give us the hit single Mother Mother.
The songs are well written and show off her excellent voice. Tell It To The Sky and Sharks Can't Sleep are very similar in style, slower in tempo, and starting off quiet before launching into an all out aural assault on your eardrums! The One and One Hit Wonder are another 2 excellent songs. The more I listen to this Album, I can't understand why it wasn't more successful. I mean, Geetar toting Rock Chicks are always fashionable in the States!
If this Album had Mr Cobain singing, it would be hailed as a classic! |

 Kind of a disappointment

| Except for the song, Mother Mother, I didn't really care for the rest of the cd. I bought it for Mother, Mother so I guess I got what I wanted. I had hoped to like other songs as well, but, oh well! |

 Mother Mother rips of Stairway riff;
Submitted on: 2006-09-09 |

| It's a decent album but she seems to copy riffs a bit on this album. Mother Mother definitly rips of Stairway To Heaven from Stairway's ending vocals riff. (and as we wind on down the road..) Does she give Zep credit on that? Now that Rockstar Supernova has used the song twice it has brought Mother, Mother back to life a bit but that riff rip just annoys me. Good female yell and complain song but I just can't get past that riff rip. |

| Like a lot of people I saw here on the Blueman tour where she was amazing. This is a solid CD throughout. I highly reccomend it. |
