Just when you think you know her!

We don't hear Jann on USA radio stations so I have to keep tabs on her releases. I heard Jann sing on "Live With Regis" about a year ago and she sang "Cherry Popsicle". Although it wasn't a great live performance even by the reaction on the show--I knew Jann's work and knew I'd get the album eventually.The songs that grabbed me on this one are: "Sleepless", "Into the Sun", "Another Human Being", "Janeen", "Taste of This" and "Mend". This album has a different sound both musically and vocally. The vocals are more restrictive on "Blood Red Cherry" as they do not 'showcase' Jann's powerful range as we heard on "Living Under June" and "Happy". We only get brief glimpses on such songs as "Another Human Being", "Janeen", and "Taste of This". This album's synthesized instrumentation partially overwhelmed her vocals, and the emotive lyrics sometimes came across as a whiny country twang. Overall I did enjoy the album. Many reviews from those who disliked "Living Under June" have raved about this album. The only way to make a decision is to buy them both. Jann Arden has proven to be versatile and just when you think you got a hold on her style she sings "Best Dressed" and you think it could be a Dolly Parton song. Looking forward to her next album as always.
