EDEN BRENT - Something Cool (2003)

For listeners who have never heard "Boogaloo" Ames, Brent sests her album's take on "I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water." "There's a right-hand lick in the middle of the piano solo that is something Boogaloo taught me note for note. I have added something to it over time, but the original idea is note for note Boogaloo." Her death-row interpretation of "Send Me to the 'lectric Chair" would give Judge Judy cause to rethink this sentence. Brent is also a proficient songwriter. "Ain't Gonna Be Your Lonely Fool" and "We've Already Said Goodbye" will appeal to Pop fans, while "I Can't Seem To Lose This Memory" and "Simple Geometry" tend more toward Jazz. "South Africa," the jewel of her originals, is a vivid tribute to the nation she toured after Ames' death in 2003. Brent's take on Bessie Smith's "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" reveals the depth of her spiritual ties to the music of Ames' generation. Throughout the album, Brent artfully tackles the complex human emotions contained within these American musical standards. This is one voice that should be around the Blues world for years to come. - BluesWax.com
