		Possessing one of rock's best voices from the last quarter century, much of the material she had to work with during her stint with Katrina and the Waves was lightweight at best, childish at it's worst.
		I must say, Leskanich is a brave woman....not once, but twice, she's willing to take a signature song made famous by another and put her own spin on it.
		The crunch of "Hang On Angel" is enhanced by Leskanich's biting vocals and insightful lyrics ("And sometimes you can't trust a soul not to throw an/Anchor to a drowning man").

		When news of hurricane Katrina first broke -- and before anyone knew the devastation it would ultimately cause -- radio deejays began dredging up "Walking on Sunshine" just so that they could come out of the news with a clever segue like, "Speaking of Katrina's waves.
		All too soon, however, the humor value was kaput, and "Walking on Sunshine" became the most inappropriate song anyone could link to the new Katrina, which had thousands of people walking under water.
		And yet, she does have a new album to push -- her first independently-released project -- under a name that's suddenly on everyone's mind for the first time in 20 years.
