ANA POPOVIC "STILL MAKING HISTORY"
Source: Amazon - Customer Review

I saw Ana Popovic live two years ago and thought she was a great guitarist with a potentially good voice and would be creating some classic blues-mould-breaking music in maybe five years time. I was wrong - she's done it with this CD already.
Ana's Serbian roots have given her plenty of fuel for lyrics here and she writes well beyond her years on difficult themes: The anger that being treated second class because of your birthplace creates (`Hold On'), Third world poverty (`Between Our Worlds'), Our chance to change things for the better(`Still Making History').
Naturally, she lays down first class blues as expected - (`You don't move me', `How'd you learn to shake it like that'); but she also delivers great reggae riffs as on (`Hold on' and `Between Our Worlds') as well as delivering breathtaking jazz vocals, (`Doubt everyone but me' and 'Calenders')
This is an exceptional work that deserves a whole lot more attention than it will probably get. Buy it, play it, and tell your friends!
