The Lion The Beast The Beat is freakin fantastic. I can't think of a female vocalist that can touch Grace's voice that's going right now.

Any other fans on here?

    I got to see some of the songs debut in Vail this spring. Here is the title track - a great rocker, from the New Orleans Jazz Fest

    I still haven't listened to the new album, but I have to say that she and the Nocturnals put on a great show. I caught them opening for Ben Harper last summer and was pleasantly surprised be their set. She has a great voice and the band backs her up very well. Everyone should check then out live if the opportunity arises.

    Just listened to new record, thought was pretty good. Last two haven't been up to par with the first couple in my opinion. Seems to be going more radio friendly, but don't say I blame her. The gal is a great musician.

    Haven't seen the band in 3+ years but they always had a great set the times I did catch them. All songs sounded much better than records played live, I imagine that holds true to her last releases also.

    Its a good album but there needs to be more rockers!!!!

    I love the jam band side of Grace Potter not so much the poppy side, although I do admit it is some of the better poppy music out there.

    I am far from a pop music fan but for some reason this new album has just consumed me. I can easily understand people saying it's too "poppy" but I still think it's a fantastic album.

    I am a huge fan! I haven't got the album yet, going to pick it up this weekend. She has an amazing voice. I would love to see her and Jim James from MMJ collaborate on something because they can both do such amazing things with their voices. Go see em live if you can, they put on a killer show.

    Saw her a couple of summers ago and I agree. She is fantastic live. I live in VT so she's our home town hero at the moment.
    It's nice to be nice to the nice.

    The new album is good, but not great IMO. They are, however, more than great live!! Saw them last summer and was blown away.

    If you haven't seen her, do it... I didn't know any of her stuff other than 'Paris' and was BLOWN away by her last week.

    I just picked up on the fact that she sings the credit song for the movie Tangled. If you have kids, you'll know the movie.

    I just realized their bass player, Catherine Popper left to be in Jack White's band. I wonder if she'll go back to Grace Potter....
