notes

Hydraulic Woman crosses all the lines between rock, blues, acoustic, and electric. This debut album combines sounds and styles reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, and Beth Hart.

Featuring the talent of seven outstanding musicians, this CD captures the same integrity and passion found at a live performance.

Hydraulic Woman started in 1990 as a solo coffeehouse act and has evolved into a full band, which adds incredible depth and fullness to this catchy bundle of original tunes. "Glad Game" tells stories of love, lust, loss, and growth, from the perspective of a young woman who survives and embraces life with her heart sitting optimistically on her sleeve.

    Awesome!! Gave it a try via CD Baby recommendation and haven't regretted it yet!!

  • Crisp, clean blues
    author: Fletcher

    Hydraulic Woman is indie artistry at its best -- no compromises, just excellent music presented with passion. I popped it into my car's disc player as soon as it arrived, and it hasn't been out since. Snatches of the melodies and lyrics keep floating through my mind, and I actually ran out to the parking lot during a break at work to listen to it again! Kristen, when is your next album due out?

  • Hydraulic Woman raises the bar -- Impressive, energetic, filled with raw emotion
    author: www.kweevak.com

    Glad Game is the new release from Hydraulic Woman fronted by singer, songwriter and rhythm guitar player Kristen Schuldt. Six other talented musicians on guitars, bass, drums and harmonica join her. Glad Game is a commanding blend of rock, blues, acoustic and electric. Kristen's vocals are a spectrum of highs and lows, power and grace; she can sing with a hard edge or a sweet, smooth flow. Kristen’s songs capture a variety of moods that are conveyed through soulful guitars, balanced bass lines, steady percussion and textured vocals. This nine-track collection is masterfully produced with vocal blends that brilliantly create the illusion of harmony with just Schuldt. All the songs are energetic and filled with raw emotion. ‘Wait’ opens with stark blues laden guitars, a steady sexy beat and questioning vocals that are a hook from start to finish. ‘Hard to Say Goodbye’ also starts with striking guitars, a solid groove, and expressive vocals that have a sugary edge. Instrumentation throughout is impressive and the band has lots of synergy. Hydraulic Woman raises the bar and Glad Game powerfully captures the highs and lows of this rocking blues band.

  • Awesome!

  • A Truely Musical Adventure!
    author: Joyce McNeil

    This CD is fantastic! A definite must have! The singer has a superb voice and the music will "hook you" from the first song through to the last. There is NOT a bad song on the CD. Extremely well written songs to blend in with any mood in which you may find yourself. I found myself often "moving to the beat" -- ranging from "upbeat" to a "bluesy jazz" to "toe tapping" to "holding your honey close". Listening to the CD is a real treat indeed. I know I'm going to tell as many folks as I can about the CD!

  • great voice ! great songs ! great disc !
    author: Tom Garrett - Kyba Radio

    Its hard not to fall in love with Kristen's voice on tracks like "Hard to Say Goodbye" "Bring It On" and "Dez's Song". Kristen has a definate knack for writing great songs and her interpretation is as real as it gets...definately an original. Look out Bonnie ! Here comes Kristen Schuldt !

  • Shakes you to the core
    author: Eric C.

    This music hits you dead on in the heart. Good To Me itself is worth twice the price of the CD.

  • A smooth beauty.
    author: Julie B. Sweet

    Kristen's vocals will send shivers up your spine. Like Raitt, she's got the cool, bluesy tones with a range for pitch and depth to communicate emotions across the spectrum.

  • Great CD! - Now a permanent part of my collection

  • Catchy, Well-Crafted, Memorable Tunes

    This 9 song set contains a range of songs all crafted from a variety of musical influences: blues, rock, soul, and pop. The cd starts out with the knee hoppin', finger-poppin' "Bring It On," a funky, rock-based romp. It ends with the more mellow "Late At Night," an upbeat song with a slightly dark tinge to it. In between, we are treated to pop songs like "Go" which could surely play on mainstream radio, "Hard To Say Goodbye," a bluesy rocker, and "Dez's Song," which is a reflection on whether to let go and love--or leave up the walls all around. The vocals are clear and gutsy, sung with depth and range. The lead guitars and harmonica are particularly fine, with all the musicians doing an excellent job supporting the lead singer's smooth voice. This is a cd you'll return to, over and over, and I give it my highest recommendation.
