Rating:  - It's Takes A Little Time
I spent most of the 90's blasting Concrete Blonde in my tiny apartment - Johnette led the band with her passionate voice and it was sad when I Concrete Blonde ceased to exist (the first time). Then after releasing a few internet only albums the lead singer of Concrete Blonde finally made a full solo release with Scarred.
Now I was more than excited to get this album and have been badgering everyone for weeks until its release, so I was a tad sad to actually get it and not fall immediately ... Read More
Rating:  - Wonderful as always!
As always, Johnette Napolitano is wonderful. This solo album has a different sound and feel than her work as the lead for Concrete Blonde (although I adore Concrete Blonde)and fully demonstrates her amazing versatility and creativity. The first song, "Amazing," has an awe-inspiring sound that is difficult to describe-it gives me chills to listen to it. The second song, "The Scientist," was done for the movie "The Wicker Man," and may be recognized by any Coldplay fans, as they did the song as well for one ... Read More
Rating:  - I was hopeful, as I love Johnette but.....
I love Johnette and own everything she's done, except Los Illegals, which was a flop. So the sounds and the recording are fine, being mixed by Concrete's guitarist James Mankey. The content of the lyrics are the sticking point for me. Almost all of the lines seem contrite and hackneyed. The vocal delivery is sometimes not believable either. I really tried to like this, and gave it many, many listens from front to back. I am sad.....
But I always have Mexican Moon to fall back on.
Rating: - An Excellent Album
A roommate introduced me to Concrete Blonde many years ago during what turned out to be a formative period in my musical upbringing. Without much regard to what the critics said about each album, I have loved (or at least managed to enjoy) each album. A few years' hiatus, then a couple of new Concrete Blonde albums ("Group Therapy", "Mojave") came out and were solid albums, although I think I'm still warming up to "Mojave". During this period Johnette's first solo efforts ("Sketchbook" and "Sketchbook, Vol. ... Read More
Rating: - One of the Best of 2007
This is one of those recordings that get better with time. When I first listened to it I felt it was a real departure from concrete blonde. I missed that sound but It really is a solo album through and through. I purchased a lot of new music this past year and Johnette's is the best. It's right up there with Springsteen's and John Doe's latest. I love her voice. It's hard to explain, something like when I was a kid and I would hear Orbison (of course they have different styles) hit certain notes. Amazing.
