A rocky album with a strong country sound
Rebekka Paige has been singing since a very young age but first sang live at a talent show held at her school. She chose a Leann Rimes song for the occasion and wowed the audience with her amazing voice - receiving a standing ovation. Since then wherever Rebekka has performed she has received enormous praise for her singing talents. A native of Maitland, Ontario Rebekka has opened for the likes of top country group Emerson Drive. This self-titled album produced by Keith Glass of Prairie Oyster is made up of ten songs, which fuse together with ease rock, pop and traditional country. Home Town Blues opens up the album in fine style. This is a rocky song with a strong authentic country sound. Dream is a slower number, which showcases Rebekka’s truly stunning vocal talents. Girls Like Fast Cars Too is a typical modern country song. Noisy and catchy with a hint of Miranda Lambert about it. Ripples On The Water is another slow number that has hit written all over it. Perhaps the best song on the album? Out Of Luck has a really traditional feel about it, yet it still sounds fresh and new on the ear of the listener. This is the first of the two songs on the album co-written by Rebekka with Keith Glass. Good Riddance was the first song off of the album to be released to Canadian country radio and is a highly polished modern country song. Written by Bob Delaposta and Jim Carolan it received air play across the country. Rebekka shows on this number that she can really belt out a song. Shape Up Heart is a catchy number that will appeal to music lovers who like their country a bit more traditional. This song has a very authentic feel to it. Modern Day Cowboy is another punchy number. Unbreakable Heart is a cover of the classy Carlene Carter song. This song was breathtaking the first time round and it is hard to imagine anyone doing a cover that matches that but Rebekka has managed to make this song her own and make it sound as good as the original. Watch Your Back ends the album on a high note. This is yet another highly polished fast modern country song co-written by Rebekka with Keith Glass. Already compared with the likes of Emmylou Harris, Rebekka has a lot to live up to. This is a pleasing first album from a young lady who obviously has bags of talent.
