Winning Hand- are 5 Aces Possible....Yes!
13 April 2011
I fell in love with Sheri's style and passion when I first heard her sing " Right Here Right Now " from her first album (Mantra) after getting the album it was apparent that her voice is only a vehicle to release the heart and wisdom of a age old soul, captured in the body and mind of a delightfully insightful young woman.
Having just purchased Winning Hand, I can say that Sheri has done it again. I guess the best way to describe the vibe of the entire album is passionate...in the lyrics and melodies, there is a depth that I've heard from greats like Aretha and Ella, yet in a modern way with timely lyrics that speak to and for my heart in so many ways. I can assure you that after listening ( seemingly non-stop) since purchasing, I believe that Sheri's album is like fine art- revealing more to you as it opens your mind to receive it.

Acoustic musician and New Yorker Sheri Miller began her career co-writing with icons J.D. Souther (The Eagles), Jill Sobule and Shawn Mullins. Sheri's highly melodic casual style serves her well on the catchy "Spoons." Next, "Winning Hand" is a seductive mid-tempo love song that made me a fan right away with her twisting key shifts. "Satellite" is another gem with a Sheryl Crow vibe and beautiful multi-tracked chorus. The songwriting is also excellent and I hope a full length album is just around the corner. Highly recommended for sure.
The Return of Sheri Miller

Format:Audio CD
Having bought "Mantra", Ms. Miller's debut CD back in 2008, I've been following this young singer/songwriter's career ever since. She has brought back hope in the concept of the singer/songwriter who actually brings attention to her songs and not herself. I was hoping that whenever she produced a follow-up CD, it would not disappoint. I'm proud to say that "Winning Hand" has exceeded my expectations.
The first track `Spoons' is a heck of a song and a great way to start off the CD. With its catchy sing-along chorus, soulful vocals and friendly harmonies, Sheri Miller sounds like a woman in love.
The title track evokes comparisons to early Fleetwood Mac songs, with its strong songwriting, slinky vocals and great background harmonies. Comparing love to a card game, it makes great analogies such as `You got a poker face' and `lay down your cards, I'll lay down my defenses'.
`Satellite' is perfect road-trip music. It's a great song to listen to while you're driving.
`Everybody Feels This Way Sometimes' bears an optimistic vibe, which is eerily similar to `The Blade' appearing on Sheri's last album.
The last song, 'Hungry for the Truth' was not the best on this CD, but does stand out lyrically, touching upon fear, abandonment and lack of trust. This song really hits home with the lyric `The truth is not an easy road, but I will walk alone'.
Compared to her preceding album, which had a more New York, harder-edged sound, "Winning Hand" gives a more California-pop/rock, laid back vibe. It brings back a feel of 1970's Fleetwood Mac or Eagles, but the tracks are definitely not dated. They are smooth and warm, but not overpowering. At times, Sheri's vocal styling could be compared to that of Michelle Branch or Sheryl Crow, but the songwriting and singing are all her own.
