she came to Davis,Ok. and rocked the house. my small town had never heard such greatness. can't wait to see her again.
The new album, "New Dog, Old Tricks" is a must-have for any SuSANG or Groobees fan! To describe the feeling of the album as a whole in one word: "chillaxin'" - like you're just hanging out with old friends on a porch, sipping ice cold liquid refreshments in your favorite comfortable old blue jeans and just enjoying the moment. Oh, and the credits thank more dogs than people (a LOT of dogs).
I would just like to say that Susan Gibson is a work of art, her talent is out of this world. I look forward to any new songs that she may write or sing. I am in hopes that Susan will make her way back to Missoula, she puts on a great show at the Cabin!!!!
I absolutely love this album! I enjoy getting to revist some of my favorite groobees tunes plus new stuff. Like in What'd I ever worry about..., "I like the way you feel when your close to me. That's not love just geography." My favorite songwriter ever.
And, it was produced by Walt Wilkins. Perfect!
Susan's music and lyrics have the ability speak to anyone. There isn't a song on either of her cd's that I haven't been able to identify with in some way. They speak to you on many different levels, and everyone that I talk to feels the same way.
Wide open what? Take a look into this chick's other material and visit a local live performance to get hooked on her sincere lyrics and amazing fan- interaction!
One of a kind performer, nothing else like her and so much more to her than Wider Open Spaces.
This cd is great on a road trip
If Lurlene is going to write two reviews exactly the same 1.5 months apart, I'm going to reiterate my 5 star review of this album...to those of y'all that haven't heard it yet, give it a try...it is fantastic...
I have to say I am disappointed. I love Susan's early stuff, but this reeks. "Happiest When I'm Moving" is much better with Jim Lauderdale's version. Susan's version takes all of the melody out. "Wide Open Spaces" is all played out - OK we get it, you wrote the song. I do like "Too Big Love", but "Stop The Bleeding" is a bit much. It goes a little past medaphoric and hits gross. Hope the next one is better.
