“Ottawa’s Missy Burgess is as credible a blues interpreter as she is a singer/songwriter.
Here Burgess covers Robert Johnson’s suggestive Come On In My Kitchen, catches the moodiness of Jann Arden’s It Looks Like Rain, and delivers a rich, bittersweet take on her own lovelorn Blue Sweater. Front and centre, right where they belong, are Burgess’ direct, smoky vocals, sometimes reminiscent of her old pal Penny Lang’s.” Pat Langston |
"It's that "Edith Piaf" feel in the "moody" songs and that balsy bluesy feel that grabs me ----- great listening Missy". "Exquisite playing. Good tunes and monstrous production from James Stephens. Willie P. Bennett can be found playing harmonica on this gem of a CD. Pick it up now!" Pat Langston (Ottawa Citizen, Jan. 12/08)
