Product Description
From Amazon.com
Singer Toni Price's two major influences, Nashville and Bonnie Raitt, are more than audible on her fourth album, Lowdown and Up. While Price's voice is also reminiscent of the same vocalists who influenced Raitt, there's little doubt as to where her original inspiration came from. Price mixes her blues with country and folk, a blend that will appeal to some and disenchant others. For those who like it, there's plenty here to like: a strong, but never overwhelming vocal style, and an expressive range that runs from seductive ("Comes Love") to upbeat ("Loserville Blues") to gentle ("Anything"). Price, who moved from Nashville to Austin in 1989, has incorporated a definite Texan flavor into her sound, and she's one of many artists who could rise to prominence as the Austin music scene continues to draw national attention. --Genevieve Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars
my favorite Toni disc,
By Mike Smutny (Brooklyn Park, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Low Down And (Audio CD)
I read these reviews to get comparative data on which disc to buy if I own few or none of an artist's work. So, from that perspective, I am writing to rate this disc as Toni's best, and that's saying alot because she is one of the most consistent artists around. All the others are tied for second with the exception of "Hey" which is my least favorite. "Comes Love" and "Red River" are particular stand outs. Also for new Toni Fans, Her voice has weathered beautifully over the years. On her first disc "Swim Away" she has a richer, fuller, young blues belter voice, and on her most recent "Born to be Blue" she sounds more like a cross between early Bonnie Raitt and Billie Holiday with a little Sue Foley thrown in. Maybe that's why I like "Low Down", it's right in the middle.

This review is from: Low Down And (Audio CD)
Toni Price sings so well on this 1999 set and makes it seem so effortless that this is a disc to which one can repeatedly return. The opener "Walk Out the Front Door" is a driving country rocker with Larry Fulcher on bass and Frosty Smith on drums combining for a great pulsing track. Toni's is the fourth version of "Comes Love" in my collection, joining Joni Mitchell, Dan Hicks and new jazz sensation Peter Cincotti. Toni's take is positively mournful with Johnny Gimble's fiddle wailing plaintively. Gwil Owen's "Anything" is lovely ballad with a beautiful melody; Toni's understated vocals grace the arrangement. "Loserville Blues" is a fast Texas swing boogie woogie that Toni's excellent performance transforms into "Winnerville." "Feel Like Cryin'" rocks out while the title track bounces along like Leon Redbone coming awake. "Wishing Well" is another lovely track that is a great song. The CD concludes with the moody "Why Is Love Like That?" Toni's set here is filled with blockbuster performances and great tunes. U snoozes U loses! Enjoy!

Great Find!,

This review is from: Low Down And (Audio CD)
I don't listen to this kind of music any more, but heard the "Foolin' 'round" cut on our local NPR station and couldn't get it out of my head. After purchasing the disk, it's now one of my desert island goodies.
