First heard Imelda on the Les Paul tribute special with Jeff Beck. What a voice! Since then I've gotten the first three albums. This first album should not be missed. The singing, songwriting, arranging, and performance of the entire band is just perfect.
It's not flawless, but it is perfect!

Whilst this album in no way captures the sheer energy of Imelda's live performances it is as good as it gets at present. I was not particularly a fan until I saw this diminutive Irish songstress in concert and was so impressed that I bought this album right there and then. The recording, to me, has an immediacy and energy about it that suits the rockabilly sensibilities of the band. The songs range from the swinging 'Dealing with the Devil', to the gentle 'Once More' each showcasing this girl's great voice and the competence of the musicians. If I had to pick just one track it would be, perhaps strangely, 'The End of the World', a lilting ballad that is perfectly suited to May's vocal style. It is a great pity that this album is currently unavailable as I think it contains some of her best material.

This is a great album in a nutshell. Seamless rockabilly, mainly covers which is typical of a first album. However, as you may know it's not really her first album. May has been singing for about 20 years and you can get some of the Jazz and Jump jive recordings on the "Blue Harlem" Cd's available on Amazon etc.
"No Turning Back" - is not shy of the fact that it's a reworked and remixed version of The original issue from 2002 - but under the name of Imelda Clabby. This has become a collectors item - and you can hear some excerpts on the rockabilly compilation Cat'n'around.
All said - if you like any other works by May you'll enjoy this CD.

I'm hungry for more Imelda.
Having seen Imelda live on stage on Jools Holland's tour I had to have more. I bought and love "Love Tatoo" and "Mayhem" (both versions), just had to have "No Turning Back"...... Read more

Great Album spoiled by poor recording
This is a fine debut album with Imelda's own songs demonstrating her song writing talent that would really come into it's own on the second album. Read more
