"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.

7) Her Own Shame [4:11]
It's not that she doesn't know what she wants
It just seems to be a matter of getting it
It's not that she chose this life to have as her own
Just seems to be the only way to live
The day's so short
And the nights are oh so long
Tossing and turning wondering
Where did it all go wrong

Chorus
Is it lack of love
Is it the pain
Is it life or guilt
Or is it her own shame
How can she live this way

She survives each day
By following all their rules
Tell me how is it that they
Chose her to be their fool
Beating herself up
She barley survives the night
Followed by a slap of reality
From the morning light
Money so easily spent
Yet so hard to get back
The high so great
How did she get on this track

Chorus

Out on the streets each night
Looking for someone to relate
Looking for an easy buzz
To extinguish all her pain
Arms extended out reaching for
The first thing that she finds
She takes it in and slowly begins
To ease her troubled mind
Money so easily spent
Yet so hard to get back
The high so great
How did she get on this track

Chorus

8) Alone [5:05]
Everywhere that you go
There's always someone
Expecting something from you
And all the things that you do
They're never enough to please
Everyone

Chorus
You want to be all alone
With no one around to let down

You're all alone just letting yourself go
All alone putting on your own show
Free from all of the ignorant things that you've said
Free from all of the times you've made your own bed

Chorus
Now you're all alone
Just letting go

The air is crisp there's a cool breeze
You run with such passion and such ease
Speaking your mind as loud as you wish
You're all alone you don't have to put up with their shit
Spinning round arms out at your side
Cursing all those that made you cry

Chorus
Now you're all alone
With no one around to let down

The air turns thick, and oh so heavy
Reality strikes and panic settles in
When finally you realize that you win
You're all alone your deepest fear
All alone no other soul is near

You're left all alone
Trapped here by yourself
You're all alone
