Wendy Colonna Album Review:
Unforgetably One of a Kind... at 2005-02-23
Wendy Colonna is a one of a kind talent whose voice can only be described as rawly passionate and as real as true life. RED is her second album, the first being Girls of Stone. Both albums display quite clearly Wendys authentic folksy grooves, while also providing emotionally powerful songs of longing and yearning, such as Coffee Today and Wake Me.After buying both of Wendys albums, I find myself listening to them over and over again. And not just one song, mind you, but the entire albums. Give them a try. I guarentee you will not be disappointed.

Wendy Colonna Album Review:
wow...just wow at 2005-09-19
I dont know how Wendy manages to be simultaneously so dark and brooding and yet so hopeful and inspiring. She sings with an achingly beautiful voice that makes sorrow as sultry and inviting as joy. That doesnt mean its a downer - it walks that line of setting a haunting mood without wallowing in it. Its a rainy-day/long- drive/late-night-while-drinking-alone-in-a-dark-room album that never goes to far - for every equisite expression of pain (Vacancy, October) theres an equally powerful expression of recovery and triumph - the you-f***ed up a good thing attitude of Mayday, the glass-half-full argument of Easy, the thankful prayer of empowerment that is Nothing Going to Take My Love, and the self-explanatory title track, Right Where I Belong)This isnt the self-indulgent friend you avoid while she goes through her painful breakup because shes going to wallow in self-pity, this is the self-aware friend you want to drink with while she goes through her painful breakup because you know shes going to wallow in self-discovery, and if you listen close you know youll learn something...

Incredible at 2005-11-03
Wendys third album is by far her best to date. Her song Coffee Today was fantastic on her second album Red. She improved it tremendously for Right Where I Belong. The new version is fuller and richer. This one song is reason enough to buy this album and the rest of the album will not disappoint you either. This CD is in my regular listening rotation. Everyone who has heard this CD has loved it.
Wendy Colonna Album Review:
Sultry, sweet, salty, wonderful! at 2005-10-07
Im deeply involved in music and have a huge collection to choose from, and yet here plucky lil Wendy Colonna has actually made a CD that I listen to every day. The thing is, a lot of women can sing and write songs, but Wendys got Something else, something that is so direct and touching, the true essence of soul, and theres nothing in between it and her music. I dont just love this album and her singing, I truly respect its songwriting. Wendy is real. Shes not packaged, and theres everything from the soul-filling defiance of the blues-based Nothings Going To Take My Love, to the musing wistful sweetness of May Day, all expressed in her amazing sultry, soulful, exuberant voice and the inspired musical arrangements of her highly talented band. No whining, here- just great, highly original soul/roots/rock/funk. I highly recommend it.
