Review byJohn Valenteyn, Maple Blues Magazine, August, 2007
"The first runner up in the Talent Search this year, Thunder Bay’s Tracy K returns home leaving us with this delightful CD to remember her by. Co-produced by Jack de Keyzer, herself and her Right Hand Band, her strong vocals, harp & acoustic guitar grace a program of originals plus two covers. The Right Hand Band compliments her perfectly: Tony Desmarteau is the guitarist, Vaughan Poyser, the bassist and Ty Rogers, the drummer. Jack de Keyzer did not leave his guitar at home. Her songs are very well written, a seamless blend of blues, country and rock - not a surprise, perhaps, given the Thunder Bay/Winnipeg focus. “C U Again” is a funky workout with a catchy chorus. “Cruisin’”, with its Santana-ish lead guitar part, is getting some radio play. “Stop! Wait A Minute” keeps that “C U Again” groove going with some nice harp work and a strong vocal – it’s a sharp-eyed vignette from the dance floor. “Here All Along” is another highlight, with strummed guitars over a driving drum pattern. Tracy K’s CD should be at a store near you. If it isn’t, you can go to www.tracyk.ca and find out more about Tracy. There are audio samples of her songs there too. May she return soon."

Hello Tracy,
I love your energy, your style so modern, with a guitar ideally agressive.
The listener is caught at once by your vehement singing.
We've also liked the great homogeneity of the group's play.
My playlist as soon as possible.
Best regards, Serge WARIN, Radio Canal Bleu France

Hi Tracy,
I like the way you blend classic blues with more contemporary styles. Your singing is very strong and your playing (both on harp and guitar) is tasty. Together with talented backing musicians you've recorded an enjoyable set! It will be my pleasure to feature your disc in my shows. I'm sure my listeners will enjoy it as much as I do!
Thank you again Tracy for the music you've sent me. I hope all is well with you.
Best wishes,

Tracy K fans can feel happy because the second album of this Canadian singer, harmonica and guitar player has been published a few months ago. She is backed by her habitual musicians plus some other guest artists and reputed guitar player Jack de Keyzer who has also produced the cd, Tracy walks along different musical styles, from the most contemporary blues to rockin’ blues, funky blues, acoustic roots, some folk rock, blues ballads and other interesting surprises you will find on this nice record which gathers the enthousiastic work of a new Canadian star who arises with a vitalistic strenght into Canada musical scene.
A careful selection of twelve Tracy K own songs and a couple of Willie Dixon and Dave Specter & Ted Robinson covers, all them performed with great passion and self-confidence.
VERY GOOD.
