KARNEY – A Good Solid Rock Record
KARNEY – A Good Solid Rock Record Collected Sounds – March 08, 2003 Amy – Producer San Francisco’s Karney knows how to rock. This CD is filled with solid, well-written and fun rock songs. She is a multitalented musician and plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar and keyboard but also has a great band backing her up. Her songwriting is skillful and interesting. Her voice perfectly suited for her style of music. “Slap” is almost punk-ish with its dissonant chord progression and her voice is a strong scream. She gets some vocal help from Steffen Franz on “Shellshock Girl” (as well as two other...

All Connected – Not Your Average Pop Junk Collected Sounds – November 22, 2003 Amy – Producer Wow, this CD hits you right out of the gate. The opening track has gutsy powerful vocals and a cool dissonance that makes you ready to rock. I’ve reviewed Karney’s work before and liked her other CD, “Karney” but this one is even better.

They make good use of the minor chord. The songs range from hard rock to ballads and they’re all done...

A good track that will definitely get your foot a tappin’ to a cool reggae beat – check it out. – Weed...

All Connected – ONE-NIGHT STAND Weed and the Urban Hippie The Stranger – October 24, 2004 Jennifer Maerz I’m a little apprehensive when the music venue I walk into sells incense, candles, and other kinds of urban hippie paraphernalia. Mr. Spot’s Chai House gave me flashbacks of going to school in the hacky-sack capital of the West Coast, Santa Cruz. From the yellow walls to the dizzying disco ball, the place screamed Guatemalan pants and bong hits. So I guess it was only fitting that San Francisco-based Karney–a folk-rock singer/ songwriter–had decorated the tables with a big green postcard...
