Comments:
It's a very appealing record. Amy Angeline has a strong voice and writes good songs. The songs range from the poignant "Teenager" to the humorous "Gas Station Man" and covers many interesting subjects. Anyone who's had a hard time being criticised will love "I am not concerned", a song of defiance to unfair people.
The record's folksy, intimate sound suits the material fine. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
