Yes, she's a big ol' barrell of crazy. Yes, she's a complete mess. But she is also super talented. I love her voice and this cd.

Just as steeped in hard living and raw talent as any strutting peacock of a rock star in the 1960s, Amy Winehouse is one of the most fascinating artists I've heard in a long time. She speaks her mind, sounds like a seasoned jazz singer and lives her life fearlessly. A bit like a dram of scotch, she'll tease you, jolt your senses and leave you craving more.

excellent album... even if she is batshit crazy.

When I first heard this CD, I was a little angry that the songs were so short! As soon as I'd really get into a jam, it'd cut off! Even with that said, it's an awesome CD that I never get tired of hearing. My fav is Love is a Losing Game.

I don't know what's happened to my darling little (once curvaceous) Amy Winehouse, but her voice still does it for me.

On 1st hearing, I thought it was Motown redux. Now her melodies & lyrics are under my skin.

I must admit I'm not one to stay on top of the pop music scene, but one album I did invest in this year was Amy Winehouse's Back to Black. We've all seen this tabloid queen in action this year, but if you haven't given her Grammy-nominated album a listen, you're missing out. Her soulful voice transports you back to a time when music was about someone's voice and not computers. It's no surprise she's also nominated for Best New Artist.

This album also features the nominated Record of the Year Rehab - whether she's in or out of treatment, I hope she wins a Grammy this year.

Update: 5 Grammy's for Ms. Winehouse! Don't stay in rehab too long, we need you.

Winehouse if you haven't heard her has a voice that sounds way beyond her years. Bluesy, soulful... just great tubes..... Worth the listen (just don't read all the gossip about her) ... listen to her for her music! (via amazon.com)
