Rock collections
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Heather Headley 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 This Is Who I Am 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 this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 9 - Four Words From A Heartbreak, track 11 - Why Should I Cry, and track 12 - If It Wasn’t For Your Love.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - He Is. Great track!

Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Wreck Of The Day gets. Wreck Of The Day simply put is one of Anna Nalick’s best CDs to date.
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Wreck Of The Day. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Wreck Of The Day has a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are her own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
Overall Wreck Of The Day 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 4 - Wreck Of The Day, track 7 - In The Rough, and track 11 - Consider This.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Breathe. This is a great track!
