 This is one of my favorite CD's January 6, 2009

I had heard a cut or two from the CD and figured that I would like it, but I like it a lot. It is one of my favorite CD's and I listen to it a lot. You would not be making a mistake ordering this.

In my opinion, there are only 3 songs worth listening to on this CD. Again, this is strictly my opinion. Duffy's style is somewhat like Amy Winehouse's; 60's do-wop. I love the do-wop sound, but I wouldn't name Duffy as my favorite artist. I think she can get better with time however. She's okay.

It sounds like Phil Spector/Motown music a bit, even the recording quality and it's all good.

Duffy has a soulful sound reminiscent of the 60's but so refreshing. Love the songs and hope for much more from her.

Like many people I was attracted to this album after hearing "Mercy". I listened to a few other tracks and hated them. I bought "Mercy" as a download and went on my way.
Then I heard "Stepping Stone" and gave the full album another try. I don't know what changed, but this time around I fell in love. I ended up downloading an additional 7 of the 10 songs on the album. Once on my Sansa (not an Ipod fan. Maybe once there's built in FM....), I played them non stop for at least a month. After a break, they still sound great as they did the first time.
"Rockferry" and "Syrup & Honey" still don't do much for me. In a few weeks, I might give them another shot. Maybe for them, the third time will be the charm.
Granted, overall, Amy Winehouse is probably more talented, but with her implosion, Duffy is a worthy replacement. I look forward to hearing more from her. (BTW, when I first heard the songs on Amy Winehouse's album, I hated them too.)
