Angela Strehli is one of those most responsible for making Austin a roots music mecca in the '70s and '80s (she was a force behind both Antone's, the club and the label). Though she's been a San Francisco Bay Area resident for the last few years, Blonde & Blue, finds her back in Austin working with a faithful cast of Lone Star regulars. Actually, remakes of soul staples "Never Like This Before" and "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um" were cut with different lineups; the latter, which features soul singer Don Covey and guitarist Steve Cropper, is a highlight. Not too surprisingly, Strehli proves again that she's a surefooted and sympathetic interpreter of classic blues and soul, plus she tosses in four originals. Stellar. --Steve Stolder

Angela never lets me down! May 15, 2003
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have had the pleasure of seeing Angela perform many times in the Austin venue-her constant presence here has been missed since she relocated-but still, she visits and we have her cd's...Any Angela Strehli cd that ever comes along will wind up in my collection. Her soulful and sultry voice has a way of wrapping a blues tune around your soul and, somehow, she buries the essence of blues into your being. If this cd isn't in your collection, then your blues collection is incomplete. And when you realize how wonderful she is to listen to, then remember this-the power and magnificence of her voice cannot be transcribed onto a disc-find where she is performing and go there. Then, you will know the magic of Angela Strehli.
This chick understands the Blues! April 15, 2001

Angela Strehli has style and conviction--she reminds me of a Blues version of Anita O'Day. I bought this CD based on hearing "Two Bit Texas Town" (Angela's homage to first hearing the blues on late night radio when she was a teenager), and I soon discovered that the ENTIRE CD is INSPIRED and DELIVERS. It's not derivative; it's her own interpretation--and she's an original. I've never seen Angela Strehli live, but if I do, I hope she ends the set with GOTTA FIND ME A LOVER. This is a tune calculated to bring down the house. The bass & drums are some kind of driving force! In a nutshell, check out this CD. You will discover a real hidden talent in Angela Strehli.
