Free Music Notes for Diabolical StreakFree Music Review: Wow! Hit: 5 Stars
WOw is just about all I can say. Smokey hot vocals, great instrumentals, just wow!! Listening to this album just makes me want to sit back, light a cigar, and sip on some brandy (totally cliche, i know). Everyone who has listened to this album absolutely loves it, regardless of their musical preference.
Free Music Review: MySpace says more is coming... Hit: 5 Stars
I agree with the favorable reviews below-- just wanted to add that I found her myspace profile (http://www.myspace.com/jilltracymusic), which says:
"The new Jill Tracy CD is just beginning to be recorded, set for release in late 2006. This will be her fourth full length recording."
Free Music Review: she kills me Hit: 5 Stars
As her voice wraps around my brainstem and the drums and bass throb their way into my blood I can no longer be sure if this is her magic or if the absinthe is taking effect or some combination of the two... all I really know is that I'm going under and it feels GOOD...
Free Music Review: Second only to a live show Hit: 5 Stars
Awesome, but my appreciation is biased from also seeing a live performance. Imagine each of four instruments lingering for their brief input, perfectly timed. Can't wait for her next CD.
Free Music Review: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something...black Hit: 4 Stars
Forgive me for the title, but it's the best way I know to sum up this disc. Tracy's got a voice like Tori Amos at her iciest, a penchant for dark lyrics that reminds one of Tom Waits' masterpiece "Alice," a mood that harkens back to Poe, and a piano style that contains elements of both cabaret and Satie. There's also a theatrical atmosphere to the entire album that works quite well. How can one do all of that and still be original and intriguing? Apparently by being Jill Tracy.
You've got a bit of everything here:
"Evil Night Together" is the kind of song Morticia might sing to Gomez to get him in the mood.
"The Fine Art of Poisoning" could be straight out of a Broadway adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel.
The lyrics to "The Proof" screams of Tom Waits, which is high praise in my book. These two should collaborate. I think her sharp, pretty purr and his graveled growl would compliment one another well.
And that's just a taste. I'm glad I found my Diabolical Streak. Now, go find yours.
P.S. Maybe Tim Burton should have Ms. Tracy write/perform the songs for his next animated film. These are certainly more effective than the music from "The Corpse Bride." Just a thought.
