NOTHING
BUT BLUE
In an era jam-packed with Janis Joplin wannabes, the petite brunette pulls no punches when belting out her rendition of "Turtle Blues." She is as true to the original as can be, with an extra dose of strength added. Schmidt's voice is more technically-developed than Joplin's was, and with just the right amount of soul to match.
The pithy, soulful originals are where she shines best, though. Her understanding of phrasing and interpretations gives testimony to her experience and dedication to each song. 'Nothing But Blue' hit number five on the Living Blues Radio Charts.
The Buffalo News' Jeff Miers says, "No lie; this stuff is of an international caliber and would be quite at home on a major blues label like, say, Alligator."
