Whether you're religious or not, you'll probably like it

I've got her cd coming :D :D

Interesting contrast. With Scott Russo, she was fronting a hard rocking band and full of a tense energy. Her new one is very, very different.

It shows most in those songs, Silence is Violence and (especially) Crazy, that are repeated from the older album. The duet with Russo crackles with energy, but has a darkness to it. The new version starts with her laughing crazily, but her laugh is so engaging that it is anything but crazy/creepy. I won't say her edge is gone, but she seems to want to sheathe the knife for a while. It shows in her singing, and in the band. Various amplified, electrified, wild ride instruments are traded for, among other things, two kinds of ukeleles (RPH, you'll probably love at least that much). The reggae-like emphasis on rhythm and layers remains, but--well, a Chicago style stuffed pizza and a cake both have layers, too. But are they heavy or light and sweet layers?

It doesn't always work. There's one song that is a hard-edged blues number, and I'd really like to hear her sing that one in her Joan Jett mode. But that side of her just doesn't show up in any of these recordings.

I love it. Don't doubt it for a second. I think I've already figured it out. Scott and Aimee Sittin' in a Tree is for when I'm in a bad mood and need the therapeutic release. A Little Happiness is for when I'm in a good mood and don't want to spoil it.

Anyone who was worried that she'd do basically the same thing over and over can relax. Oh, and anyone who gets their panties in a knot when someone celebrates their religion can just skip the last track, too...

Oh--and if you think she's pretty, you'll love the photos in the little booklet.

Solo debut bump!

So, am I the first to get a copy? Surely not; I never lead trends.

I picked it up on iTunes, but I think I'm gonna go to Best Buy and get the actual CD too. Aimee did a lot to support Ron Paul and all of us at the Rally for the Republic. We should support her as well.

Agreed. We really need to support each other. If it is not the type of music you like than just tell someone who may like it about the new CD and help spread the word. Just remember, if she gets massively popular than that is going to be a heck of a lot more attention thrown our way when she does songs and concerts for the next liberty candidate running for President (and hopefully she will back some congressional candidates as well).

And it's released on Sidetracked, which seems to specialize in artists that the mainstream labels reject. Given the increasing homogenization of output and 'company line' lyrics we've seen over the last few decades, I say keep those fiercely indy labels going strong!

[acptulsa]

Hope she can learn to tap both that raw emotion and that sweetness. An artist that can go from one to the other and back on stage--on top of all that talent--will go places!

I've got admit that her new song is a lot better than her Ron Paul song.
