It's her.  I bought this album on the strength of this song.  There wasn't anything nearly this catchy on it.  I only sort of remember enjoying it, and I haven't played it since, so I guess that says something.  Maybe I should give it another chance.
 
Or just accept that Bill's superpower is picking the one really good song off an album of otherwise mediocre offerings.

Nice vocals, but sounds like she "borrowed" her opening guitar riffs right from "Little Pink Houses" by Mellencamp

I really love Cindy Bullens' music. She's got incredible control of her voice , so she can kick out the jams when it's warranted, but she's not a showoff (Mariah Carey.)  I love how she can sing a subdued song like this without divulging what an amazing vocal range she has.

This is a good, good song.  {#Sunny}

Reminds me of Kim Richey's Rise album...   But Kim Richey is better I think.

Over the last year, I have grown to really like this tune. Let's hear more from Cindy.

Ahhhh Cindy "Steal the Night" Bullens. Thanks for some great tunes. Hope you're a regular listener to RP!

It's a ripoff because of 4 common chords it shares with the Mellencamp song? C'mon, that's silly. The rest of the song is as unique as any music can be. It's not like an artist (musician or otherwise) can come up with something that has not been a derivative of other artists' work.

i definitely dig the tune, but i've got to admit to being a little disappointed each time i realize that i'm not about to hear some Mellencamp.

I'm not liking the music too much, but the lyrics are simple and smart. And I can identify with them.

pretty cool, sounded like Robin Zander from Cheap Trick.

It must be that special slow-acting time-release hook. I liked falling in love with this song.

Yeah, except Cindy has BALLS. I hear more Melissa Etheridge here, personally. Good stuff!

Brings back memories for me too, specifically Grease - she did a few songs on the soundtrack. Have loved her ever since.

The opening guitar sounds like Mellencamp\'s Pink Houses to me. I dig this song.
Posted 20 years ago by gypsy222    [ Reply ]
By the way, virtually this entire CD is a reall ass-kicker, one of the best of 2002. A real surprise.

Yes for some reason it did for me too. I kinda like it now - 6-rating and climbing. Does anyone else hear Cowboy Junkies in this song? Sounds very much inspired by them.

This is very nice! Great music. Who did Cindy Bullens used to sing with? I\'m getting too old to remember.
Posted 21 years ago by fisherking    [ Reply ]
Some of the guitar work sound s like \"Wish you were here\" by Pfloyd. I think that is what got my attention.
