Honeysuckle for Your Ears May 29, 2007
Good debut album overall. Jessi has a good voice that can convey genuine emotion. There are good beats throughout and the writing is strong, with meaningful lyrics. A mix of uptempo and slower stuff.
Honeysuckle Sweet is a good slower song.
Make Me Stay or Go has a good uptempo beat.
World is Crazy is a soft, gentle love tune.
Run Right Back to You is about a woman hurt by a man but she'll keep taking him back anyway.
Unfulfilled has good lyrics that paint a picture well of a bleak marriage and home life. It's slow and bluesey.
Holdin Back Your Love is an appeal to a man not to act so tough and indifferent and open up to love. The backing vocals blend well.
Can You Make it Feel Right is an insightful tune addressed to a woman who has taken up with the singer's man and asks that woman if she'll ever feel secure that that man is not cheating on her with yet other women. Good guitar riffs.
Everywhere is a slow tune and kind of dull.
Reasons to Run has a gentle, quick beat and Jessi's voice is soft and effective. It's about not wanting to avoid love anymore.
Long Way is about the singer coming from a bad home and taking up with a boy to get away. Turned out to be not a good choice but things are better for the singer now, who has learned from experience. Bluesey guitar.
Canyon Prayer is a tune with religious sentiments that avoids being hokey. Nice gliding rhythm.

This album deserves about 3 1/2 stars (but that is not an option). It was good...the songs were mediocre...it just really sounded like she wasn't trying when she was singing these songs. It was like she wasn't exerting enough power and passion while singing. She was singing the song...nothing more. She definitely didn't give it all she had (like Carrie Underwood or Dolly Parton) and it seemed like she was holding back. In other words...when you sing...the listener wants to feel energy coming through the music...and with Jessi, I didn't feel much at all. More energy needed. Good album though (nothing great). This album is worth about $5.00 (nothing more...only less)

 To Me, These Songs Seem Pretty Mediocre Jun 25, 2006
I guess if you were at a club and her song(s) came on, it(they) would get you out on the dance floor. But for my taste, these are so generic sound-like-every other Nashville songs, that I don't see why there have been so many favorable reviews. Where are the great (and unique) melodies?

 Simply Beautiful Mar 28, 2006
You get a sense listening to Jessi's album that with each song you are being transported to another place, another time or another mood. Honeysuckle Sweet makes all of us smile and actually takes us along our own special "back road" in our minds. Or This World is Crazy where Jessi's soothing voice reaches out and nutures the soul, driven by a pain and sorrow she has magically transformed into the most beautiful, touching and healing melody. Or the spunky Can You Make it Feel Right, that ought to be playing on every radio in the country. The entire CD is a winner. It keeps me company far away from home and helps me find that 'back road' in my own mind. Thanks, Jess.

Jessi is great, she is of the best stuff, melodious, swinging, enchanting and so woman - the best ever.
