Title: Rushed
Product review: Ottawa's Sue Foley recorded "New Used Car" for Germany's Ruf label. The set showcases Foley's exquisite guitar playing. As a vocalist, her voice is a bit on the thin side but usually works when filled with attitude and swagger. Unfortunately, Foley's songwriting on this set is not memorable. Yes, the title track has some nice playing. "Mother" might have been stunning as an instrumental. "Sugar" has potential with its saucy innuendo. A couple dreadful tracks like "Little Things" & "Found My Love" have me reach for the skip button when her talk-sing part approaches. "Deep Freeze" near the end of the set is the only track I want to put into my song mix rotation. The last track "Change Your Mind" sounds like "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" from Bob Dylan's first album in 1962. The song Dylan sang was more interesting. While Foley's talent is still evident, this set seems like it was rushed, not quite ready for the studio. Taxi!
