Deena Goodman Hard To Get To Shimshack Records 2005 www.deenagoodman.com

Deena Goodman’s voice combines soft sexiness with a little attitude. It’s a voice that works well with a range of styles, and on Hard To Get To she showcases this talent with help from her rather adept band of session pros. The five tracks on the EP include up-tempo Bonnie Raitt-style rockers like the title track, as well as slower, jazzier numbers.

Throughout, though, there’s a bluesy element as well. The songs take on the familiar relationship themes: breakups, miscommunication, and redemption, but the songs are laced with indelible hooks and Goodman sings with such passion that each makes for a worthwhile listen. She’s ably following in the footsteps of rockers like Raitt, Melissa Etheridge and Sheryl Crow, and Hard To Get To represents her first foray along that path.

Favorite Track: Track 3, “Walking All Over”
