Reviews of Damsel in Distress CD
“There are palpable influences of torchy divas like
Laura Nyro and Linda Ronstadt. Some
of the songs are poignant, as is the title track, Damsel In Distress,
as well as my favourite, the hauntingly unforgettable, In Love's Favour.
Other songs are witty and "fun-poking" such as the
blues-influenced, Love
By Numbers, which is set in a nightclub and done
with audience participation. To me, the marvel is that Karen Gold
composed and performed all these songs and arrangements, playing all
the instruments herself. She sings all the lead vocals and harmony backups
too. Her lyrics are sensitive, insightful, and always so
clearly crafted. All of this yields to the listener a
relentless authenticity that is worth so much to those
of us who yearn for it, in the output of artists.”
