Tift Merritt - Bramble Rose - Rock Music CD Review

Tift Merritt, very talented Rock artist has released her latest CD titled Bramble Rose and Wow! It's good.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rock isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Listen to and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Tift Merritt is clearly in top form.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Virginia, No On Can Warn You, track 8 - Supposed To Make Your Happy, and track 11 - When I Cross Over

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Trouble Over Me. This is a great track!
