Comments:

Ceci Redmann Whitehurst makes modern folk with pithy and relatable lyric on this record. "Immortal Schoolgirl" takes a look at an ideal with insight and a catchy tune. The title song is a fun blues about jealousy. I'm sure we all can relate to "I hate Monday", a fun and insightful song about everyday stress. "It's hard to be a parent" is a also relatable, an insight into the joys and hardships of parenthood. It's a wonderful and warm record. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
