Definitely worth buying.......2007-05-18

I bought 23rd Street Lullaby the very same day that I purchased U2's How to Dismantle an Automic Bomb at the end of 2004. I show it on display in the store and remembered a comment by Emmylou Harris about why she approached Patti for a collaboration in her Red Dirt Girl album: namely she said how much she loved Patti's Rumble Doll (and how it passed unnoticed to the mainstream). So I bought 23rd Street Lullaby and fell completely in love with it.

Recently I decided to buy her first (and much praised by Emmylou) album through Amazon. And I don't regret it. To be honest I was not much excited after a first listen. Surely there are some songs that stand out and are catchy enough in a single listen (As Long As I (Can Be With You), Lucky Girl and even Rumble Doll). However it took me more sittings to get to appreciate other precious songs like Valerie, Spanish Dancer or Talk to Me. Jeff Lynn's production shows clearly: especially Lucky Girl reminded me a lot of his production work in Tom Petty's Into the Great Wide Open.

Yet from a purely musical perspective (english is not my mother tongue and I still haven't had the chance to listen to and read carefully the lyrics), I think I like 23rd Street Lullaby most. So I'd recommend her second album if you are thinking about buying a first record by Patti.

Cant stop listening to it amazing album........2007-05-07

Bought this yesterday and must have listened to it 30 times.
Most albums you have to listen to a few times before you get the tunes in your head this one is instant,each song is good in my opinion the only downside there is only 12 I want more of the same, have ordered 23rd street lullaby hope I won't be disappointed.

Pleasant Surprise.......2007-04-15

I first heard the song 'Rumble Doll', or at least a portion of it, on Bruce Springsteen's CD 'Live in New York City'. Ms. Scialfa sang the first verse right before she is introduced as part of the E Street Band. This sparked my curiosity and so I bought her CD. Talk about a good decision. I knew I was buying a CD of a talented musician with a distinctive voice but the surprise was her ability as a lyricist. These are songs that after you hear them once, you feel this need to listen again. Now you want to look up the words and then you know you need to listen to them again. After each time you find you enjoy the songs even more than the previous time. To me that's the sign of an artist with something to say who has put together a work with a lasting quality.

If you're looking for Springsteen you are missing the point. Ms. Scialfa is a talented artist in her own right who just happens to married to The Boss. Her sound is definitely her own with similar influences as her husband.

I definitely recommend this CD.

As good a songwriter as there is...........2006-11-04

....and this was among the best albums released by ANYONE in the 1990's.

A new favorite.......2006-10-14

I first noticed Patti Scialfa's fabulous, but unique, voice during Springsteen's The Rising tour. Recently, I finally bought 23rd Street Lullaby. It became an instant favorite and is seldom out of my CD player. I then bought Rumble Doll and would be hard pressed to say which is my favorite of the two. Don't expect it to sound anything like a Springsteen album. Her music is absolutely unique and independent of him. In fact, I think her light is being hidden under his bushel. "Spanish Dancer" is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I've ever heard, and I listen to A LOT of music.

Album Description

Their first album, "Another Fine Undefined Life," is a heartfelt mix of first-hand experience and vicarious influence. Sometimes tender, sometimes bold, sometimes angry, sometimes sweet, but always relatable, the songs reflect a wide gamut of human emotion, and although a song may have arisen from a single event unique to that person, you're left with a feeling of familiarity, of camaraderie with this kindred soul. What it boils down to is a musical melting pot of some of life's more profound highs and lows, of turning points and reality checks, near-misses and blindsides. Many songs, like "If Only," are about taking the road less traveled, or the vulnerability that comes hand in hand with being in love, or, in the case of "No One But Me," taking responsibility for being where and who you are today. It's a beautifully simple, infinitely relatable, uniquely musical expression of the everyday trials and triumphs of the human experience.
