Kara Suzanne`s expressive, emotionally wide-ranging voice gives this release its kick. One moment she is melting your heart with a mournful torch song, then she`s shaking her sassy finger at you. The Gojo Hearts never let Suzanne get too far out in front. Suzanne is the show, but much like the original Lone Justice kept Maria McKee in line, The Gojo Hearts keep this from becoming all about Suzanne`s terrific voice. Through the course of the album they explore country balladry, bluegrass, jazz, and turn-of-the-century Western barroom music, all of which Suzanne masters. A terrific debut from a talented band. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Ksue Productions)
