5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute delght! 8 Mar 2007
By G. V. Cherian
Format:Audio CD
Its not often I listen to BBC 6 Music, or keep up with all the hype that passes for music reviews these days, but one day, on the dial, there came on a song by Joan as Policewoman. Nice I thought but did not want to rush out and get the album. So often in these cases you do that and there's about a couple of decent songs and the rest is filler, and you regret parting with your money! Anyway a few months from then, last week in fact, I wander in to a store, and on an impulse get it finally.

And you know what- not a single duff track on it! No sooner are its 38 minutes up, and I press repeat again. So addictive, and lovely and beguiling an album! When this sort of thing happens, (and lets face it, it happens RARELY), you know you've stumbled into something special. A beautiul moment- that gets better with every listen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Joan As Excellent Singer/Songwriter 14 Jun 2006
By Mrs. G. Reffold
Format:Audio CD
This album is truly sublime. Joan Wasser has a beautiful voice which never sounds less than perfect. There are not a wide range of styles here, but Joan sticks to what she does best: soothing soul and magical melodies. My personal favourite is "I Defy", which contains singing from Anthony of Anthony and the Johnsons fame, a band Joan Wasser is part of.

But "The Ride" and "Eternal Flame" are certainly excellent, with the rest of the songs all of high quality too.

This is definitely worth what I paid for, and more. I highly recommend it, this CD is simply fantastic. Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore this at your peril 28 July 2006
By Kirsty Smith
Format:Audio CD
I wish the record of the year lists you usually get around Christmas were out now, this would be at the top of my list. I can't see anything else coming close. I beg you all to go out and buy this, don't let it be another undiscovered treasure that gets lost.

I bought this largely because of her collaborations, I was not sure exactly what to expect, but thought it would be worth a look. It was not an instant hit on first listen, but after the second, third....... and a few weeks later I am still under it's spell and can't stop listening to it.

The more you listen, the more you get from it, 10 tracks of pure gold, the only problem is, it's at an end before you know it.

Whenever I mention Joan as Police Woman I tend to get blank looks, this should not be! This is exceptionally good quality music, well written and performed. Her voice has a seductive depth, that lulls you into her world and keeps you there, wanting more. The haunting ghost like backing vocals are unusual and add a certain something.

She is a first rate musician as she has proved in her collaborations, but now she is proving herself in her own right. Also the live show sounds fantastic, every bit as good as the record, with the added pleasure of being in Joan Wasser's magnificent company.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing special
I find the reviews here quite puzzling. I found this record to be very middle-of-the-road. Her voice lacks passion somehow and a lot of the songs are quite bland.
