Customer Rating:      Summary: Postmodern Classic Comment: Put in cd player, get comfortable, lay supine, hit play, and feel the powerful background angst of the instrumentation in contrast to Sam's retro esque Lennon flair and Sam's artistry with creating vivid images through her words that leave a pop and groove in your mind like a 45 rpm record.
Impressive producing that is screaming yet restraint like a Kandinsky painting.
"don't do anything" allows some idle time into your life which can lead to an unexpected state of balance and peace. Bravo Sam!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: disappointed Comment: I'm a big fan, so when I saw Sam Phillips had a new CD coming out, I was excited. It's been a while since her last release. Unfortunately, I find very little to like here. The sound is similar to Fan Dance, but not as personal. The songs sound like strange little experiments. I miss the tuneful catchiness of her earlier albums.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Classic from Sam Phillips. Comment: Wonderful music. Like all the other records from Sam over the last 10 years. You may describe this new record as "chapter three" (fan dance - boot & shoe - Don't Do Anything ) or trilogy.
There is one thing I don't understand: 4 years and a 35 min record. That's a little disappointed. But we might get the next cd next year... (-8
Customer Rating:      Summary: Her best release in several yrs Comment: This is her first CD in a long time that just grabs you on the first listen. I think the beats are little more livelier here. So far, this is the most refreshing and energetic CD I've listened to this year. There is little more rocking here. More kick to the drums and guitars that swirls less and hum more. I am really liking this. Maybe getting rid of her hubby on the production let her be less self conscious and let it loose. Man, I am really getting into this as I am writing this.
Customer Rating:      Summary: This fan's still dancing Comment: Here's more of what I've grown to love about Sam's music. Songs that grow on you; that take on deeper shades of meaning with repeated listening. And a couple of absolute gems like "Sister Rosetta" and "Signal". I'd love to see Sam do a rocker now that the trilogy is complete.
