I have reviewed quite a bit of Karney’s music in the past. Her sound seems to be unbound by genres or other limiting factors. Sometimes it leans toward prog or psychedelia. At other points we get blues rock or metal elements. It always works well, though. This set is no exception. While there are some songs that stand out, nothing is even close to weak.

This works well. It has a real folk rock oriented sound. It’s bouncy and energetic. Some electric guitar later is understated, but brings a lot of magic with it.

With plenty of art music in the mix, this is a real powerhouse. It comes with melodic rock, but it turns jazzy later as a horn enters and dances over the arrangement. This definitely qualifies as prog rock as far as I’m concerned.

The hard rocking textures on this cut seem to merge alternative rock and proggy things with a lot of style.

Much more of a straight ahead hard rocking number, this has plenty of 1970s blurs rock in the mix. It’s a real powerhouse.

Yes, this is a cover of the Dio song. I’ve always said that if you are going to cover a song you should make it your own. Well, Karney definitely did that with that. The song is unmistakable as was tune it is, but this arrangement leans more toward roots music and prog. It does still bring some metal to the table, though. I definitely prefer the original, but I like this one a lot.

This is more of a folk rock tune. I don’t think it’s one of the strongest tracks here, but it has its charms.

This hard rocker seems to live somewhere between the bluesy hard rock of Led Zeppelin and heavy metal. It’s a real powerhouse that reminds me a little of Heart in some ways.

Occupying a lot of the same territory as the previous number, this leans perhaps a little more toward the metal end of the spectrum. It’s a real standout track.

This is a powerhouse track that has plenty of proggy elements at play. This is one of the standouts here. It’s hard rocking, but also quite artsy and inventive.

I like this version much more than the stripped back one that started the album off. It’s got some real meat built into it. It’s got some fierce guitar at its heart.
