A Powerful Voice With Much To Say

Luv,luv,luv'd this cd.Originally purchased the cd due to the videos played on VHI every morning while I dress for work. Duffy was listed as an artist "you oughta know". The first video released was for "Warwick Avenue", her voice was so expressive of a cheated and broken heart, that I would just stop and listen. When I purchased the cd, I found I loved several different cuts, for several different reasons.The cd has a retro feel, but the lyrics have resonance today."Distant Dreamer" could have been played for the Obama campaign.I cannot sit still when I hear "Mercy" not even if I'm driving, and with "Stepping Stone" I'm really hoping she finds someone to love and treat her well, I get the impression that she is not lucky at love.Absolutely, an artist you should know and worth a listen.

Old School Soul, For A New School Audience

Off the cusp of the Amy Winehouse sound, we're now treated to an immensely talented and soulful singer by the name of Duffy. She has one of those familiar faces that you think you know and one of those voices that you haven't heard for decades, unless you break out your old album collection of course. She flew into the UK charts with her debut single "Mercy" the backing music was nostalgic and the voice unique. Many compared the woman to Ms. Winehouse, but I would certainly put Duffy in a category of her own easily comparing her to the Etta James' of the world.

What annoys me in a way is, she's so talented, I mean that with true sincerity but it upsets me that she has now resorted to the robbing tactics of releasing a "Special" edition version of the album with about 6 new songs, one to be a single. It seems to be the trend of the music companies now as a way of milking as much money from the fans as possible. I would honestly advise that if you haven't bought the regular album already then wait for the special edition. The extra songs are worth the cash, I just don't think it's right that people should be forced to buy the original album and then should have to fork out again for the special edition.

Top 3 songs are the current singles

1. Mercy
2. Rain On Your Parade
3. Warwick Avenue.

Buy it and love it (The special edition I mean.)

Rock Ferry by Duffy

I love her voice. It is a good CD. I show her on "The View" and decided to buy her CD. "Stepping Stone" is the best.

Duffy rocks!

Excellent quality CD. Duffy rocks on this CD and I have enjoyed listening many times since I received it. It did take a long time to receive the CD and I became impatient but now its like glue and will not leave my hands! Will be watching for more releases from this talented artist. Thanx AMAZON!

A cleaned-up Winehouse

In the newly-popular 60s genre minted to perfection by bad Winehouse grrls, Duffy stands out from the rest of the pack with her brassy tones in the megahit 'Mercy'.

Her smoke-tinged vocals in 'Warwick Avenue' and'Serious' also recall the finer moments of Lulu and Dusty Springfield... all good fun and nostalgia...
