notes
An album with a unique sound that is drippin with vibe, and catchy enough for radio airplay. California kick back and kick ass.
Karen mixes it up in this eclectic debut. There is something here for everyone with all original compositions ranging from rock to jazz, and acoustic. Impressive instrumentation provided by seasoned guest professionals Kenny Edwards (Stone Poneys, Karla Bonoff, Bryndle) and Jeff Pevar (CPR, Crosby Stills & Nash, Ricky Lee Jones, Ray Charles Orchestra) These guys get to stretch on this release.
Karen's voice massages the ear and sooths to the bone. Deep, passionate, dynamic and subtle she delivers a colorful pallet of emotion reflected in her introspective lyrics about desire and disappointment.
Clean production where you can taste every flavor. A huge yet uncluttered sound. Guitar fans will love this one too. Everything from cool smooth jazz to Hendrix with a bit of Neil Young grunge thrown in for good measure.

Karen Thurber's first CD - In a Dream - Rocks!!!
author: Jan PortugalKaren Thurber is a refreshing new talent on the horizon. The timbre of her first album, In A Dream is captivating and unique, an interesting blend of jazz, folk rock, country, and latin, with a dash of the blues. The pacing is tasteful, not too much instrumentation, nobody showing off, everybody complimenting the other to present the songs in their purist form. Karen's vocal chops are instantly pleasing and delicious. Mature, sultry, warm, and sweet, full of nuance, she's not trying to imitate or to be anything other than her own frank, gutsy, let-it-all-hang-out-baby, self. Her style is really her own. The symbiosis on Don't Hesitate between Karen and Jeff Pevar, of CPR fame, is a reciprocal crossing over of voice and guitar, richly complimentary. One of the outstanding qualities of this album is the perfect rhythm embodied in Karen's singing and playing, her storytelling is a colorful assembly of brave declarations born from dissolutional love, all surprisingly upbeat and sometimes humorous. Remember is a banquet of distinct sounds and complex rhythms, I instantly wanted hear it again. The Wind rocks solid, you have no choice but to break free and be swept away. For a first album the professionalism is outstanding. I recommend this CD to all men who may need insight into a woman's soul and a good time for women everywhere who can do a little finger snapping, give me an uh huh, coz I dig what you're sayin' blues.
