"What a tremendous voice Carrie has!"--ABC Radio (WJR), by host Frank Beckmenn

"Lady Sings the Blues. The best in classic rock was always that which was derived directly from the blues. Cream. Led Zeppelin. Black Sabbath. These bands knew where it was at and they went there. So it is with Jackie Blue." --JJ Koczan, The Aquarian newspaper, New York and New Jersey

"Aw yeah! I love this band. This girl is a Janis Joplinite without trying to be. She has a voluptuous voice. She's not even trying to be wan and fragile like Dido or Jem. She's rock and roll." --Rev. Billy Jesus, Chicago, Illinois.

3) Slip On By [4:33]
So I guess that I hurt you
What do you want me to say
You're looking for closure
Like a final act in a play
It's always about you
I didn't want it that way
Just take some time to see
How you pushed me away
You're selfish and snide
With no space for me, to be me

Chorus
A reality you couldn't see
All I wanted was to be just me
You wouldn't let me be me

Something's work better
The less that you try
Sometimes it's easier
When you let it, when you let it
Slip on by. Let it slip on by

The things that you wanted
Were not the same for me
A conventional way of life
House, car, and a family
Jealousy and grief you gave to me
All I needed was time
Just a simple moment, a moment of mine

Chorus

I didn't explain why I just went away
Something's just have to end
No matter how hard you try and pretend
People need space to evolve inside
I just needed some room a little solitary time

Chorus

4) Help Me Breathe [3:31]
The agonizing desperation for an escape
I can no longer sleep my babe, and it's too hard to be awake
The old road of drinks and pills, is what I will not take

Chorus
What's it gonna be that sets me free
What's it gonna take to get a break
I need to relax to be calm you see
Somebody help me to breathe

I sit and watch as people pass me by
The smile on their faces, makes me want to cry
I'm so tired of trying to be happy
It's making me mad
Crazy thinking of the joy
The joy that I once had

Chorus

With each day that goes by
It's getting harder to try
Bit by bit destroying my will
My will to survive
Now why's it gotta be so tough
Why isn't all their love enough

Chorus
