I bought this album after seeing Juliet at the Empire pub in Belfast. I was quite honestly, bowled over by the beauty of her strange voice, the refreshing newness of her lyrics and the simplicity of her music. If you like upbeat, funky, yet slightly bluesy songs with strong lyrics and very memorable tunes buy this. Simply one of the best albums I've heard in a long time, if you are in search of something new, buy this, you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alanis and Janis meet The Proclaimers in Ireland, 28 April 2003

By	M. Seymour "amikeseymour" (Europe) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Discovered Juliet Turner when she was supporting Joan Armatrading recently. She has a haunting captivating voice that shimmers with purity. Her lyrics might be a bit Upper VIth English Lit student-y at times but the music is a real discovery. Buy this CD and start namedropping her before the masses discover her and jump on the bandwagon. And incidentally Terry Wogan apparently loves her -- and look what he did for Eva Cassidy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply superb, 16 Mar 2005

By	"gsudron" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Burn the Black Suit (Audio CD)

Having heard a few of her songs on Wogan I decided to investigate further and I am so glad I did. This album (and her subsequent one) is simply superb. Top class songwriting, excellent musicianship from Juliet and her band all topped off with that haunting Northern Irish brogue.

If you think of a mix of Edie Brickell and Dolores O'Riorden (from the Cranberries) you'd be heading in the right direction. Songs are beautifully crafted and produced - the CD hasn't been out of my player since I bought it. Highly recommended.

Check out her album 'Season of the Hurricane' too - very different from this but it continues to show Juliet's talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars thank you Mr Wogan!!!
As many others, heard a couple of Juliet's songs on Terry Wogans show and what a pleasure it is to listen to the whole album! Brilliant. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars One to Watch
Having seen Juliet support Bob Geldof in Jan 2004, I instantly wanted her album.. Not disappointed. She's a bit like an Irish Alanis Morissette! A huge future, see her now.
