Jude Johnstone is a poet with the gift of taking her words to another level through music. Now everyone can actually get inside what she is saying by hearing her country inflected roots rock. I must give the nod to all the musicians involved with this recording, they are superb, and the production values are excellent.
This could very well be the sleeper album of 2005, although I seriously doubt anyone will miss this important work. Watch for the name Jude Johnstone more, you are bound to watch this shooting star take flight very soon.
