Like the Beethoven symphony of the same name, EROICA is beautiful and moving. Wendy and Lisa are so talented on this particular album it takes your breath away. I first heard EROICA in 1990 and I'm still convinced this was the best album of the 90s, with the exception of GIRL BROS., their 1998 release.

Every track on this album is outstanding, but the ones that linger in my ear the most are: "Rainbow Lake," "Strung Out," "Don't Try to Tell Me," "Inside Out," "Skeleton Key," "Staring at the Sun" and "Crack in the Pavement."

Once you hear this album, you'll never forget it! It's intelligent without pretentions, it's lush without over-production, it's simple and complex at the same time. Plus, EROICA (and GIRL BROS.) is the kind of album you can listen to anytime, but especially during the more challenging times in your life.
