Free Music Notes for Love Comin' Down
Free Music Review: the singings good enuf but the guitar is what its all about
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw Foley live when she was a shy 22-year-old, and my opinion hasn't changed: Her singing's ok, good enough to keep her out of the financial hell that blues sidemen suffer in, but her guitar playing is is tops. Foley had an in-depth understanding of the greats, and built her style on the best of foundations; T-bone Walker, Freddy King, etc. I must insist that she would probably wail beyond her best so far if she had an equal vocalist to push her.Free Music Review: Intro
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is GREAT. I had not heard of Sue Foley, until approx. 4 years ago when Jonny Lang came to the Orpheum in Van., she was the back up. Yes, go girl.!!! My friend Donna and I absolutely loved Sue, and needless to say the next opportunity I went out looking for her CD's. I have turned on many other people to her discs as well. Without a doubt would love to see her perform live again.Free Music Review: Am I Worthy Of Sue Foley's Beautiful Music?
Hit: 5 Stars
Originally from Canada, Sue put together a demo, which she sent to Antone's (a blues bar and record label in Austin, Texas. Upon hearing said demo Antone's knew they had a true blue sweetheart on their hands. Sue moved to Austin to pursue her record deal and career. A move that pleases this Austin music scene socialite!Sue's slower side on this CD is simply powerful and tear jerking. Tracks like "Emtpy Cup" and "Am I Worthy" show how Sue can move your soul to tears and slay your sorrow with her vocals. These songs are highly emotional and powerful.
For a more upbeat pace tracks like "You're Barking Up The Wrong Tree", and "Let Me Drive" Sue takes a stand in each song, showing her impish (red head) side, and her guitar moves you to dancing!
Sue is a rarity somewhat, she is the entire package. She plays her own instrument, sings and is female too. Her voice is a sweet, moving, determined with a splash of echo. WOW! A red headed fiery blues beauty striving to be an equal in a genre dominated mostly by blues men as legends. Does Sue have what it takes? Well my rating should tell you that I've got nothing but love comin' down for Sue Foley!
Free Music Review: Burning the Blues
Hit: 4 Stars
Sue Foley's CD is confident and deserves praise. A guitar strum opens on "Two Trains" before it breaks out into a full blues rocker. "Empty Cup" is a slow song with lumbering rhythms and beautiful harmony vocals by Lucinda Williams. Buy the CD for the title track, a hot burning blues rocker. Colin Linden, whose "Raised by Wolves" CD is equally hot, blisters the guitar on "Love Comin' Down" as Sue sings, "My heart is like a sunset." "You're Barking Up the Wrong Tree" is an uptempo old-style piano blues, "Stop talking lah-dee-dah to me." Foley milks the juice out of her electric guitar on "Same Thing." "Let My Tears Fall Down" is a slow tune with vocals that bring to mind the best of Bessie Smith. The vocals are fuzz-distorted and the electric guitar is up full throttle on "Let Me Drive." "To Be Next to You" lets Sue wail as a soulful crooner. "Mediterranean Breakfast" is a stunning instrumental with Spanish guitar and flamenco-flavored percussion melding with Foley's wailing electric guitar. Don't miss this one! The next track has Sue's slow soul searching vocal, "Do I let you inside me? Am I worthy of love?" "Oh Baby (We Got A Good Thing Going)" is a great boogie-woogie blues. The CD ends with "How Strong," a slow tune with acoustic guitar and Foley's passionate vocal. This music is mature, confident blues from one of the best. Enjoy!Free Music Review: sue foley rocks!

Sue Foley, blueswoman from Canada via Austin, is something special. Her voice is not a powerhouse growl like Big Momma Thornton, but very delicate and beautiful, even when she tries to belt it out. The first thing I noticed when I first heard her on the "Every Road I Take" compilation was that I'd never heard a chick play guitar like that. She's definitely no SRV, but well versed in many styles and uses what skill she has to the fullest extent. Her fretwork is impressive enough, but coupled with an outstanding ear for catchy tunes and you are looking at one of the most talented musicians to never break through to the mainstream. That's definitely a shame, but a real treat for those who know;)."Love Comin' Down" is without question her most complete album yet, though there is a special place in my heart for "Without A Warning." On this one Sue's originals take center stage, though differentiating them from the covers without checking the booklet is a tough job, which is quite a credit. Her own songs tend to lean toward the sad and lonely, which is exactly what makes a great blues artist.
I consider myself a budding expert on the blues and I believe anyone would enjoy this album, blues afficionados or casual music listeners alike. Consider yourself one of a lucky few to get your hands on any of her discs, but this one is a great starting point. Bottom line, for those of you who can tell good stuff from bad, you owe it to yourself to at least give Sue Foley a listen. You won't regret it.
