Also appearing were Anita O' Day and Sylvia Miles Website Hits - Averaging about 1000 unique visits a month Check out this Audio Review of Gladshot by NPR Scranton DJ George Graham If you want to get on Debbie's mailing list, PRESS "Excellent, intimate" Working with musical partner Mike Blaxill...... tracks like "Resurrection" and "Dog On A Skylight" demonstrate the skill that Andrews has - as a songwriter, as a musician and as a singer. It's not easy to be good - even passable - at all three skills at once. Andrews shows she's more than good. The disc's closing track, "Testament" leaves the listener wanting so much more from this album, yet teases them by not offering more.
'Debbie
Andrews proves on "Suburbs of Eden" that there is alot of good music
out there to be discovered.....many artists struggle to attain the
level of consistency and quality that is found on this CD. It's rock/pop
music , but much more. Andrews has a wonderfully endearing voice that
makes you believe every word she sings.....excellent vocals with quality
songwriting." "There are three photographs of Debbie Andrews on the cover and booklet of this eight song CD, and they could be photographs of three different people. That disparity of appearance is extended to her music, which shows multiple dimensions of the artist. Andrews
has a remarkable voice - clear and expressive, with a pop quality
that sometimes seems at odds with her often moody, poetic lyrics....
a great part of the appeal of her music is this shape-shifting quality
that makes her completely accessible music sound something considerably
more than ordinary. She's also a fine keyboardist, decorating her
songs with acoustic and electric piano, B-3, Wurlitzer and synths.
On top of it all, the disc is self-produced, demonstrating taste,
skill and a remarkable lack of self-indulgence in the studio." "..."Suburbs
of Eden is filled with powerfully written emotional songs delivered
with a pop sensibility." "...on
Debbie's new CD, the title track Surrounded By Windows juxtaposes
dream-like imagery and declarations of newfound clarity and it works.
All six tracks are built around Andrews' compact piano work...the
production is adult-pop, dense, but not flashy..."Surrounded By Windows"
is good to the last drop!"

"Suburbs
of Eden" is a disc which demonstrates the promise that Andrews has
as she continues to hone her craft into a blade so sharp it will undoubtedly
slice her own path through the muddled musical genres. All I know
is that I want to hear more - and I hope Andrews won't keep her soon
to be large fan base waiting long."
