Fire – Fire Sounds Like An Entrance To
Whole Lotta Love For A Few Seconds. What A Great
Opening Song, Kick Ass With The Entire Band
Playing Right On The Money – Hard Rocking and
Couldn’t Be Any Tighter. It’s Obivious That This
Is Exactly Where Laura and Band Want To Be At
This Point. Climbing Higher. I Was Watching
Their Performance On Youtube – "Live At Thomann
Sessions" – 3:58 – This Song Could Rock On For
Ten Minutes As A Jam…But Has To End Somewhere. I
Can’t Wait To See Where It Leads From Here.
-
Bad Luck Blues
(Keeps Getting In The Way –
No One Will Save Me Anyway). I’m Watching The
Official Video – 3:42 – Sure Got That Famous
Chomp-Chomp Sound From ZZ Top’s "I Just Got
Paid" and "Jesus Just Left Chicago" and It Works
Just Fine On This Song – A Hard Rocking Blues
Tune. Laura’s Vocals Are So Natural and Not
Forced – The Band Is Great All Around – If
Laura’s Songs Like This Really Reflect Her
Personal Life Situations, Please Find A New
Romance, It’s Never Too Late To Start Over.
Build On Something Healthy.
-
Last Breakdown
Plowing Forward With Her
Broken Life, Last Boy Love To Leave Her and
Medication As Needed. It’s A Very Nice Change
Up. Great Ending In A Echo Chamber.
-
Looking Upside Down
Another Great Song,
Lyrics and Music All Belong Together. Everything
Just Fell Into Place. The World Began To Make
Sense – Ain’t That The Truth!
-
Just Another Game
Reminds Me Of The Band
Free, Smooth and Delightful Ballad. Just Another
Game That I Won’t Win. Just Another Story of
Love. I’m A Rocker and You’re A Roller, So Let’s
Live Fast, Die Young and Ride Together.
-
Here’s To War
Here’s To War – Here’s To
Power – Here’s To Digging Your Grave Deeper –
The Truth Is Nowhere To Be Found – Truth Still
Lies Underneath The Surface, But We’re Just As
Blind As Ever.
-
Freaking Out Loud
I Can Hear Myself Screamin’ I’m Losing My Mind – I’ve Got No Place
To Hide –For Freaking Out Loud – I Gotta Slow
Down, Think Fast, Get Away From This Crazy Town
– They Cut My Wings Off, Afraid I Would Fly, and
They’re Drugging Me and Tracking My Thoughts.
Now I’m Stuck In A Cold Room and I Don’t Know
Where I Am. Sounds Very Much Like The Who and H-Blockx.
-
As I Am
When I Gave Him My Heart, He Was
Already Gone, He Flew As The
Shadow of the Prince I
Once Loved, I Don’t Know What To Do, And I Can’t
Get My Way Through It All.
-
River
I’m Gonna Drive Through The Desert
Until I Can’t Remember My Name, Gonna Fly To The
Moon, The Only Way To Ease My Pain. Give Me A
Reason To Look Back, Someone I Can Care About. I
Got It Bad, Real Bad. (It Took Me A Little While
To Figure Out Who Parts of This Song Remind Me
of: Bonnie Tyler’s Song, "This Is Gonna Hurt".
-
Letters To The Other Side
We Are Just
Faces From The Past and Not Meant To Last. When
I Get To What Hurts The Most, There’ll Be No
Such Thing As Goodbye. I’m Sending Letters To
Angels and Ghosts, Sending Letters To The Other
Side. When Your Time Has Come, You Have To Leave
and Pray.

Note By Dave:
When I Was First Intrduced To Laura Cox, Through
A Friend, The First Song I Heard Was Laura’s
Cover of "All Right Now" From The Band Free and
Their Guitarist Paul Kossoff (RIP – 1976) – I
Was So Impressed With Her Talent In Everything
She Played In Her Videos. The Biggest Shock For
Me Was The Quality of Her Equipment That She Was
Using….Switching Guitars As Easy As Changing Her
Clothes. One Has To Wonder Where She Got The
Money To Have Such A Collection. This Is No
Starving Artist Here Folks. Just A Passing
Thought, What The Hell Did I Care! Can She
Fucking Play Is The Real Question! Hell Yes She
Can Play. I Bought Her First CD – Now I Just Got
Her Second CD Release Yesterday – November 7,
2019. Please Consider This As An Introduction To

Dave Note:
That Photo Opposite
Page Seven In The CD Booklet…Is The Real Her and
In My
Opinion, Should’ve
Been The Cover Photo On This New CD. That Photo
Says It All.
She’s Very Bright,
Beautiful, Talented and Can Really Kick Ass On
Vocals and Guitar.
I’m Able To Take
Credit For One Thing – I Got Her To Play At
Henry’s Blues Garage In
Hannover, Germany.
Through Letters To Laura and Our Friend Henry…Glad
To Help.
