Editorial Reviews
When someone makes the statement "she's one in a million".....the one they are talking about is Roxie Dean. A country fan from birth, the Louisana native has become one of the brightest threads in the tapestry of Nashville's history. Already a hit song writer having penned the #1 hit for Jamie O'Neal "When I think About Angels" and Leanne Womack's "That's Why They Call It Falling", Roxie herself is one of Country Music's greatest female entertainers. Now, with an album of her own,"Ms America", which includes her hit single "A Soldier's Wife", Roxie is ready to take a major career step. A true narrator for the life experience, Roxie combines honesty, humor, vulnerability, and experience to touch the hears of all who hear her, male and female alike. Having been compared as a female Roger Miller, people walk away saying "That woman just sang my life story....I felt like I've known her all my life !". After hearing her almub "Ms America", you'll agree.

Exactly what I was looking for.......2007-05-29
GLORIOUS VOCALS~BRAVO VIKKI CARR!!! .......2005-07-30
Two brilliant seventies albums.......2002-07-12
Killing me softly (a hit for Roberta Flack) was apparently inspired by a Don McLean concert. Other covers include songs normally associated with Helen Reddy (Ain't no way to treat a lady), Anne Murray (Danny's song), Carly Simon (Haven't got time for the pain), Dottie West (Six weeks every summer), John Denver (Sunshine on my shoulders), Gladys Knight (Neither one of us) and Jim Croce (I'll have to say I love you in a song). So Vikki's covers were chosen from a variety of sources, but all of them sound wonderful with Vikki singing them.
This is an excellent collection from one of America's finest ever singers. I look forward to more of Vikki's recordings being released on CD - this is great, but there is plenty more in the vaults.

Dean Offers A Stunning and Hearfelt "Ms. America".......2006-01-20
Roxie Dean opens her debut asserting that "I talk loud, I stay our late/I drink bud light instead of champagne/Smoke Marlboros with the home girls." Indeed Dean is not a Barbie-doll faux of a singer, and "Ms. America" is not a manicured non-descript collection of songs that came right out of Nashville's conveyor belt. Rather, like Gretchen Wilson and Tanya Tucker, Dean exudes her 3-D personality throughout these 11 cuts. Unabashedly combining her tuff girl attitude with her heartfelt romanticism, Dean is not afraid to speak her mind and rend her heart. In fact, though these cuts deal primarily with relationships, they express a diary-like frankness filled with memorable lines executed through Dean's mellifluous vocals. Such a view is obviously shared by many of Dean's peers, this is why many have recorded tunes penned by Dean herself, and these include Reba McEntire ("My Sister"), Lorrie Morgan ("Do You Wanna Buy Me a Drink (Frank)?"), Jamie O'Neal ("When I Think About Angels"), Cheryl Wright ("Wouldn't It Be Cool"), Lee Ann Womack ("Why They Call It Falling") among others.
Primed with a razor-edged sharpness, the revved up title cut and current single, finds Dean jettisoning the typical bikini-wearing super slim image for the loud, diet-free, bacon cheese burger fun-loving gal as the icon of Ms. America. And she continues to speak her mind about the kind of man she desires with the rowdy "A Man like Bugs," that is Bugs Bunny, rather than those crawling pest: "I want a man like Bugs Bunny/A cute tail and a whole lot of money." In lesser hands, this may come across as caricature, but Dean with her engaging vocals pulls this off with honors adding levity to the set. And when it comes to giving her man the heads-up into a woman's thoughts, she's not afraid to let him know on the relentless rocker "Women Know Women."
But the apogee of the album resides in the ballads: best of which is "Sand Castles," a tune Dean co-writes with Bonnie Baker. Refusing to be shelved emotionally, "Sand Castles" is about taking risks in romance despite the waves of disappointment. But what really makes this an import from heaven is Dean's nuanced approach to the lyric's ache, giving this a jaw-dropping performance. This is career defining track. Pining down the often elusive and inexpressible pain of heartbreak on "Remind Me," Dean's restraint but emotive delivery makes sorrow palpable. Also, quite stirring is the first single "A Soldier's Wife," a war-related song told from the perspectives of the wives of these armed men. Eschewing the politics and religious aspects of war, Dean goes straight to the heart giving voice to the feelings of lost, loneliness, pain and uncertainties.
The only more familiar song here is "Why They Call It Falling," a track Dean and Don Schlitz co-wrote for Lee Ann Womack. Dean offers her take of it which is less polished, but more engaging than the superstar's version, giving us a more intimate feel to this gorgeous ballad about the complexities of being in a relationship. If there's any shortcoming with this CD, it's that it only has 10 cuts with a repeat of "A Soldier's Wife" this time injected with comments from the wives of these serviced men detailing their struggles and pain. As far as debut CDs go, Dean's "Ms. America" shows promise. Refusing to be domesticated, Dean shows character and personality that shines as bright as her talents.
Wow! What a great record. Funny. Touching. A great listen!.......2005-05-07
From fun-loving romps like "A Man Like Bugs", "Women Know Women" and "Just Like a Man" to touching ballads like "Why They Call It Falling", "Sandcastles" and "A Soldier's Wife" you'll find you have more than one favorite song on this album. When it's over, you'll want to play it again right away!
Every since we heard Lee Ann Womack's version of "Why They Call It Falling" (on her album "I Hope You Dance"), my family's been singing along. We've been waiting to hear Roxy sing her own song and it was sure worth the wait! We'll be singing along in the car and, with all the great songs on this record, I'm sure you'll find yourself singing along, too! Roxie's the real deal!

Album Description
"Lesli Wood tackles subjects that, in the hands of a lesser musician, would turn into tired and sentimental clichés, but Ms. Led's leader is a surprising success ... an addictive listen from start to finish." -- Devil in the Woods "Driven by taut guitar lines, rhythms that propel dancing feet, and vocals that seethe with quiet intensity one moment, then suddenly ignite into barely controlled yowling the next." -- Time Out New York "With a sound that falls somewhere in between other NW female-fronted bands like Sleater-Kinney and Visqueen, Ms. Led are a power-pop four-piece with a strong but not heavy-handed feminist message and a straightforward punch ... an energetic, inspired act with enough experience and stage presence to give their sincere songwriting a solid backbone." -- Seattle WeeklySeattle's favorite political band returns this summer with its highly anticipated third album, Shake Yourself Awake! Written over a span of two years in a highly divided political climate, Shake Yourself Awake offers a call to action with unapologetic energy and enthusiasm. During this time, Ms. Led has continued to tour, bringing its high-energy live show to the masses while sharing bills with The Avengers, The Thermals, The Reputation, and The Gossip. Ms. Led's first two albums quickly sold out of their first pressings, and all the while the band maintained its DIY ethic and built a strong following. Shake Yourself Awake contains Lesli Wood's strongest and most eclectic songwriting to date, varying from the punk energy of opening track "New Agenda" to the '60s girl group stylings highlighted in "Up to the Old Tricks." Shake Yourself Awake is Ms. Led at their best.
