Frogtoon Music Album Info: 17 Seconds To Anywhere

"More Than 15 Years Separates 17 SECONDS TO ANYWHERE From Liz Story's 1982 Debut And Listening To The Two Albums Back To Back Is Telling. This 1998 Release Features Twice The Harmonic Exuberance Stylistic Playfulness And Optimism As Her Classic ... This Isn't To Say That The Songs Here Are All Lollipops And Sunshine-"Out Of Time" Is As Mournful As Anything She's Done And The Title Track Stumbles And Searches Urgently Resolving Rather Heavily. The Powerful Life Force Exhibited Here Is An Encouraging Sign That Story's Talent Only Glows Brighter With Time." - Review From Cduniverse.Com
