Bring back the mohawk Joan, please...,
By
This review is from: Joan As Police Woman (Audio CD)
New York singer/songwriter Joan Wasser has probably seen it all; from performing and recording with Rufus Wainwright, Antony & The Johnsons, Lou Reed, Scissor Sisters and Nick Cave, as well as once stepping out with a certain Jeff Buckley, she's been at the heart of original and inventive music making for quite some time. Now she has signed to independant label Reveal Records, this is her chance to show us all what she's capable of.As you would no doubt expect from a woman who once led her youth orchestra as lead violinist whilst sporting a platinum mohawk, she's capable of quite a lot. A talented multi-instrumentalist (violin, guitar, piano, wurlitzer) and gifted songwriter, she takes full advantage of the rich assortment of textures at her fingertips and her eclectic musical background. She makes music that I cannot begin to catagorise; all that I can say is that she writes intelligent, heartfelt and interesting music. And she's no acoustic weepy either, these are hard and powerful songs, the sort of songs that demand to be listened to. She grabs your ears with her dark, sultry voice and then squeezes them until they bleed as she woops and howls with the sort of fire and passion that you wish Nora bloody Jones would exhibit once in while. I would recommend this if you're a fan of Rufus or Antony, or a fan of strong female vocalists, or if you just like good quality music.

6 exclsuive tracks not on her debut full length,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joan As Police Woman (Audio CD)
now featuring re- recorded versions and a bonus unissued trackJoan As Policewomans first 6 tracker has already become a firm favourite with Rufus Wainwright and Antony and the johnsons fans ( joan plays with both bands)who saw her solo on tour.Now via its official UK release JAPW are swiftly becoming a hot band and being tipped for greatness within the industry. Her full album REAL LIFE will take things to another level again.. go see joan ben and rainy on tour in march 2006 at london , derby, brighton, glasgow, edinburgh,birmingham, sheffield and hear them on BBC 6 music where marc riley and gideon coe were the first to get behind the first single my gurl. Her music is some of the best Ive heard in years and from the evidence of this ep and her forthcoming full length you will be seeing and hearing so much more in months to come..

This review is from: Joan As Police Woman (Audio CD)
at first listen you will find this a really good ep. then for some reason you will be unable to remove it from your cd player. it becomes something truly great over repeated listens.
