Catie Curtis has taken her personal songwriting to a new depth. With sexual politics never far from the surface, she has crafted some fine lyrics that make her case for individual choice in all things, yet she never gets up on a soap box. The best of these is "Radical"; "I don't feel radical when I kiss you." The production by Darleen Wilson is simple and effective. Curtis's voice has a catch pleasantly reminiscent of Karla Bonoff. ~ Richard Meyer minimize
