From the opening classic saxophone sounds of Deanna Bogart, Karyn Oliver's debut CD Hurricane flashes through your mind with its influences; the high points of seventies singer-songwriters and mellow rockers have all made  their mark.

However, but don't make the mistake of thinking this CD is derivative of anything but Karyn's life and songwriting talents. Finely crafted songs highlight Karyn's vocal styles and tap deeply into Baltimore's imprint on her life.

Think such classics as Heart around Dog and Butterfly, Springsteen's Born To Run era mixed with more modern themes and sounds.
