Leiana - No Going Back - CD

(Page Records) I was going to start this review off by saying how awesome this rockin' female band is, but then I looked at the liner notes and saw that not only was it not a chick band, but the band consisted of only two people, vocalist Leiana (female) and writer, arranger, producer and multi-talented musician Chuck Treece (male). Reading that only made me appreciate and love this release even more.

Every song on this release has an in-your-face catchiness that you just can't ignore. Chuck Treece's playing is tight and production is top notch. Leiana's vocals are powerful and melodic. There's not one bad track on this release, and as far as standouts go I loved them all. Don't let this band get away. You will kick yourself for not picking up this release. One of the most solid CDs through and through that I have heard in quite a while.
