Geetar toting Rock Chick's Excellent Debut!.......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.......2007-01-04

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;.......2006-09-10

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.

Really, really, really good.......2005-02-19

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.

The Burdens of Being Good.......2004-10-16

Like most people, the song that drew me to this album was "Mother, Mother". My own mother found it rather amusing that this woman on the radio was shrieking about being fine.

I was young when I got it, 12 I think. I didn't understand the meanings of most of the songs, but it didn't matter. Tracy has an undeniable talent, and her songs are compelling even for young'uns like I was.

She tangles melodies in her violin strings and belts a voice out of her 5'2 frame that belongs in someone taller and fatter. Her messages may be confusing but what is good rock without...interesting lyrics?

Tracks to check out: Mother, Mother; Brain Crack; Bulldog. There are more but I can't think of them right now.
