Paula Cole Amen Rock Music Cd Review
Richly talented Rock artist Paula Cole has released her latest album titled Amen and Wow! It’s really a good one.
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.
Paula Cole is one of those musicians that has the ability to just win you over with her talent. The kind of artist it’s really a treat to be able to listen to.
Overall Amen is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 - La Tonya, track 6 - Rhythm Of Life, and track 9 - God Is Watching.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 1 - I Believe In Love. What a nice track!
