Koren’s voice suffuses this country-but-not-so-country blues-rock with a rare soulfulness. Every track has something going for it, be it a strong lyric, a driving rhythm, a memorable melodic hitch, or plaintive guitars.  And Koren sings it all with seasoned charm and conviction. The whole package is a welcome local surprise from a Hamilton singer who deserves much play.  Never Said Goodbye, I Love, and Melbourne Jam are highlights.

So why do people go out and buy Carrie Underwood records when they can listen to people like Kim Koren in their own back yard?This Dundas-born country rocker has a voice that could melt butter. She writes with Stevie Nicks’ power, and her band, Punchbuggy Yellow, kicks butt!
