Reviews for "HONEST WOMAN"

What A VOICE!

Some classic ingredients here - churchy piano, gutsy drumming, fantastic organ, sympathetic guitar... Absolutely capped off by one of the best female vocals I have heard in a very long time! This lady knows how to sing, that's for sure. You know from the subtle oos and ahs at the start that she means business... and the band works very effectively to give her the support needed, as she soars off into the stratosphere. I must admit that I have a real soft spot for Hammond.. and was not disappointed when the organ jumps in with the solo.
Just excellent. I hope the band does well with it.

ARETHA FRANKLIN BABY!

GREAT SOULFUL VOCALS AND GREAT OLD SCHOOL R&B. I LIKE THIS MUSIC. YOU REALLY PULLED OFF THAT OLD SOUND OF PATTI LABELLE, AND THE BAND SEEMS SEASONED TO THE TASTE. ITS HARD TO COME BY SUCH A SOUND THESE DAYS THAT YOU GUYS ARE POUNDING OUT, KEEP IT UP!

Soul...

this is original...and engaging. The vocals are on point, sang with soul, the vocals are tight...the production is great...would i be wrong if i said it has gospel influences? This is uplifting and just great to listen to. This is great music....keep going wih this ...i dont have anything negative to say...just keep up the good work.....

Incredible

Great intro! Had kind of a gospel - Billy Joel sound to it. Verses are incredibly powerful, great female vocals and I just love the sound of the piano. This is really much more of a Gospel blues song than anything. The last few lines of the verse do a great job of bringing the song into the chorus. This song is very very well arranged. The organ solo is a great break from the vocals. Overall this is really an incredible effort, wonderful performance and production...the musicians are amazing and the vocals are simply outstanding. The songwriting is wonderful and just draws you in right to the hook. This song is a great break from what you usually hear here....Top of the charts here you come!

This Really Grabs The Spotlight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The performance is excellent! The vocals have power to spare and are soulful to the max, I love the emotion! The drummer has a great pocket, and very tasteful feels and accents. The organ is great! There is nothing better than a real B3. A five star performance, with extra helpings!

This Song Rocks

Really like the beginning, with the old scratchy record sound. Excellent lead vocals. Nice groove going. Got both of my feet tapping right from the start. Love the harmonica. Love the whole thing from start to finish! Excellent! Best song I've heard yet.

Swing it Baby!

From the first I was taken to the movie theater by this track and I was watching the credits roll by as this song was playing...part of it was pharmicalogical but most of it was this groovy track. When the soul train ran into the Faith Hills bus this is what happened. Good Job!

You Go Girl!

Very cool, nice groove, very dynamic arangement and well produced. Very tight performance by the whole band and the singer got enuf soul for all of us! Loved the bass work as well as the guitars.

Good Groove, Powerful Chorus

Excellent production, the vocals come through very powerfully. The song goes smoothly from a funky verse to a rocky chorus. I love whatever is creating the short rhythmic stabs throughout, very funky. The introduction really contrasts with the rest of the song with the scratchy record effect and this just brings more attention to how good the production of the song is when it kicks in. The harmonica about 3 mins in is a nice touch. An unnusual but very good mix of funk and rock, very original, can't think of anything to compare it with really!

Hey a talented chick vocalist!

Chick - you have one hell of a seductive voice. There are some cool Pointer Sister-esque backing vox, nice. The move into the guitar is tight... I am hearing a whole lot of vocal influences hear, but all diva baby. Not my normal genre, but hell yes, I'm sold!

Excellent Composition

Very interesting guitar work, makes a nice change instead of hearing constant strumming and the slide guitar lines have a beautiful tone. The strong vocal performance demands attention from the listener. No one instrument overpowers the track and they all complement each other well. There is what sounds like a flute or panpipes in there which are very well placed. The structure makes the song move along well, keeping the listener interested. Similar is some respects to the Beautiful South, but this is better!

Soulful

This is a pretty good song. A soulful, bluesy, R&B kinda song. The vocals are excellent, as well as the harmonica.The rest of the band does a good job as well.A good quality recording.

Unique Vibe

Love the intro, great drum fill, caught my attention right away. Original sound with your particular combination of sound. Love the female vocals, reminds me of fleetwood mac. This gets some serious original points for unique production and performance.
