On Sass Jordan's 1988 debut Tell Somebody she proved she had the pipes, but was let down by a low-budget, synthetic accompaniment. Jordan does indeed go back to her "racines" (roots) for her second effort, with real musicians and an earthy rock backing. Her gritty voice sounds like a female, vintage Rod Stewart, the music like vintage Faces without the overt sloppiness. The debut single "Make You A Believer" in particular evokes this period, with rollicking bar-room piano and crunchy guitar riffs. "Time Flies" borrows a riff from The Stones' "Street-Fighting Man." While Jordan does tend to wear her Faces/Stones/Bad Company influences on her sleeve, there's an integrity to her performance that wanna-bees like The Black Crowes can only aspire to. A confident, sassy disc. Roch Parisien (All Music Guide)
