Talented Young Lady

Sweet melodies and catchy hooks are littered all over the album. When you HEAR this album, you can't help but feel but wanting to smile and wanting to feel a general sense of wellness. However whey you LISTEN to the songs, you sense the heartache involved to create such songs. Sad and hopeless moments in relationships set to such a upbeat and sunny soundtrack.
Upbeat and Relatable
24 Nov 2011
I only found Allison Weiss a few months ago, and I'm so glad that I did! This album created a fan out of me almost immediately. The songs are upbeat and easy to sing along to, but also completely relatable. Allison Weiss may be the only artist I know of who can get me jamming out to her catchy rhythms while lamenting my breakup. It's genius!
Deserving of wide acclaim

"Hello," Allison Weiss writes on her website, "I play guitar and tell my secrets to audiences."
There's a lot to discover about Weiss's life, and perhaps that's an exercise best left to the listener. Listening to these songs of heartbreak and hope, it is clear that her own experiences have gone into crafting them. At the same time, they still they retain a wide emotional appeal, made even more poignant by being anchored in the real world.
Weiss's lyrics are complex and surely the best part of the listening experience for me. Her words constantly turn on themselves, revealing new and surprising meanings. Whatever you might expect Weiss's next words will be, they, happily, refuse to meet expectations.
The quality studio production of this album shows the same depth in the music as in the lyrics. It is a joy to hear the subtle instrumentation and effects blended into the studio versions of these songs. Weiss's usual visage of the lone singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar comes through at times as well; the times when the words are too raw with emotion to tolerate being smoothed over by her trademark catchy melodies and unbeat phrasing.
Weiss's second album to see wide release, "... Was Right All Along" is highly recommended.
Product note: As expected, these Amazon.com MP3s meet the usual expectations of quality. If you've been listening to these tracks most anywhere else online, these MP3s are of noticably higher quality and well worth your purchase. Audiophiles should get the CD for lossless happiness.
