  • Good things are in store for this promising young woman - bless her heart!
    author: Louisville Music News

    Singer/songwriter Leanne Trevalyan states in the liner notes of Open Heart Perjury that the word 'heart' is used 33 times over the course of the 11 songs (including the title of three songs). That should give you a clue as to the tenor of "Perjury", and to the level of investment Trevalyan has in it. Trevalyan sings about hearts in a variety of styles: There's the Marcia Ball feistiness of "Swoon & Sigh", the somber brokenness of "My Heart Goes South", and the tongue-in-cheek fashion confession of "Heart on My Sleeve", which inevitably leads to Trevalyan getting "blood on my shirt." Trevalyan is smart to mix up her delivery so that the whole album doesn't sink into the monotone of the "he broke my heart" lament. "Song #89" comes dangerously close to rocking, and the longing of "I Can't Sit Still" conjures up the sweet voice of the Indigo Girls' Emily Sailers. The rumor is that Trevalyan is in the process of developing new material with Tim Krekel, which means that good things are in store for this promising young woman. Bless her heart. -Kory Wilcoxson

  • Grab your chocolate and take a road trip with Leanne!
    author: Cyndi Mudge

    This is a great CD to hit the road with or curl up clutching a big hunk of chocolate. Your mood swings will time well with the songs, from that first sugar high crush to the crash of that last love. Leanne's lyrics are wonderfully choreographed. Trying to pin down a favorite song is like trying to capture a butterfuly in a field of clover. There are simply too many to choose. Can't Sit Still has become a personal anthem, but equally compelling are On My Shoulder, My Heart Goes South, and Timing is Everything. In a world of noise and electronic popping and beeps it's refreshing to spend time with music that is simple and direct. Just a guitar, violin, and harmonica.
