Title: I Miss Ichiban!
Review: I have only listened to this new CD once, so perhaps it is not even fair for me to be publicly reviewing it. But after a very long, very anxious period of anticipation for this CD, I am very disappointed in the product. I absolutely LOVE everything Trudy did at Ichiban, and when she left there, I was worried that there would be a drop off in quality if she went to another label. Her vocals are definitely as strong as ever on this new one, but the songs are not as intense or energetic, and the back up band is nowhere near what could be found at Ichiban in the good old days. I dearly miss songs like Instant Breakfast, Anybody's Man Tonight, and A Whole lot of Leave Me Alone. I just hope she will bounce back in the future to the performer I know she can be.
