She has a cool name and a nice album cover. She should sing better than this.

This is awfull, too many bland female vocalists on RP at the moment

If my squezze box has another glitch I'll let you know.

There's just something reassuring about an area called "OK."  Kind of like a self-affirmation.  (No disrepect, sir.)

Reminds me of Shawn C - in a good way.

Great voice.

I think the "pop tune" might be part of the problem.  I know people use the term "clear channel" and "pop" interchangeably (rightly or wrongly depends on your tastes) and many people don't like it because it is a pop tune.  There is a certain predictability and comfort with pop type music that I generally don't like.  It isn't because it isn't catchy or good, but often because it's too much like everything else that's out there and too easy.  A song that is catchy and easy to process will capture the attention of the people who don't really want to have to listen to a song to process it.  I can appreciate that viewpoint in today's busy society, but I prefer songs with more depth.

Not that this is a BAD song, it just doesn't bring much to the table aside from being catchy.  It's a solid 6, but isn't going to be anything that is going to stand up to repeated listening.

Just checked her web page, she is going to be here in OK at the end of this month.

Sweet, simple and well executed pop tune. Hard to throw negative comments about a whisper of a tune. Sweet voice too.

I remember this song is not liked much here, some critics were even pretty bad!

I cannot agree!

The song has anything one can expect from a good pop-song!

Rhythm, super melody, drive, harmonies - what the hell is missing?

I LOVE IT!!!

This is ok for the genre its in...but this is the kind of stuff I don't want to listen to RP for

No, seriously - I like that song!
I like naive-romantic girls!
TRUELY

SWINGS!!!

Magic picture, magic blues. Rate to 10. Thanx for RP 

I sure like it, and I'm happy about that . . .

Blech! Gag me!

In a recent show in Berkeley she mentioned that this song is about Woody Guthrie. That is not obvious, is it? She is a reasonably good performer, but was not hitting the higher notes without a good deal of evident straining. On another subject, it is true that there is an abundance of female singers these days playing acoustic guitar, etc. However, this is one worth listening to.

It's the Richard Shindell connection; he produced this album for Antje, and he is also in Cry, Cry, Cry with Dar Williams.  Small circle.

That's pretty much how I feel about her "singing".

I like the album art better than the song. Not bad, just not my style.

Like this one, I do. This song reminds me of some of Dar Williams' songs, which I also enjoy.

this is a statement "bad to the bone" - straight from the supermarket!

What now...?

Woman-hater or Morphine-lover?

This song is worse than anything the Weepies pulled out of their no-no parts, and that's saying something.

I do not even read the comments below,
knowing most will badly TRASH this song!

I say it's POP at it's best!

Super-melody, rhythm, lyrics ok, good voice!
anything else to expect?
