 She's done it this time! Wow! Her new CD-NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND is outstanding. From the first track (which is the tile of the CD) to the last, Judy Kanyo puts her "spurs into your ears!" There are some many great songs on this CD...it will launch this fabulous Canadian Country singer into the stratosphere."

Whether you are a line dancer or just someone who like slow ballads, there is something for you on this album. Whether you are happy or sad there is something for you on this album. If you have experienced a broken heart there is everything for you on this album.

If you want straight forward country or soft country/pop ballads you find it here, and if you want to have party/dance you also find it here.

The title song didn't at first appeal to me as it has a little rap touch to it. But a couple more listens changed my mind totally. This song is a winner and should hit the charts. Other favourites I found on the album is: You wouldn't lie to an angel would ya. When you hear Judy perform it, you don't even feel tempted to tell just a white lie. 100 % Pure Texan is another great and catchy song, which should make any Texan proud. Walking on the blue Side has a little jazzy touch to it, but is very, very nice country. West Texas Wind is another very catchy song and will get you on the dance floor Airplane Light is a nice little tune about love, nicely sung in the cute way Judy is so good at. You also find a bonus song, Mistletoe my cowboy and Me. An Xmas song and a real toe-tapper. you almost feel tempted to play even in the middle of a heat wave.

Conclusion: This album is CUTE. It definitely proves that you don't need to go to USA to have an album done. Judy's talent combined with top musicians and producers shows that Canada absolutely is on a top level

When you put the CD in your player, I'm sure you will both agree and disagree with me on my favourite songs. You will most likely find one that is made for exactly you.

I wish you happy listening

 Judy Kanyo Comes Forward in A Big Way on Her New Cd As She Tackles A Variety of Songs with Singing Prowess

Although this young lady comes from "north of the border," up in Canada, here on her new cd she seemingly heads out west with hints of western swing, in the 100 Percent PURE TEXAN outing, offering the suggestion that she really got an eye full of this guy who registered well on her brain.

That's song No.5 on the list of titles, but just before that, at No. 4, was an angelic theme, a song written by noted composer Paul Overstreet, in questioning:

YOU WOULDN'T LIE TO AN ANGEL, WOULD YA?

And this angel comes from below, and not up above, but that still makes no difference in her mind.

But with power in her voice as she tackles each and every song, Judy makes you a believer in the stories that lie behind the presentation.

It's truly hard to cite a favorite in the first hearing of a song, but it is assured that Judy has here a list of songs which could make many a hit parade. How high that song goes of course depends on promotion, coupled with that voice that Dusty Owens, owner of TCM Radio internet station in Florida, found both traditional and pop-oriented at the same time.

Lisa Brokop, also a well-known songwriter, is credited with writing a favorite on this cd, namely: STOP THE CLOCK; but one quite to my liking was GONE FOR GOOD, an uptempo thing pleasing to the ears, if not to the mind.

Can't guess at the title of the cd: NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND, but that, too, was a good opening number worth listening too more than a few times.

And so it goes: one good song after the other, done up in grand fashion by a lady of supberb song styling.

But in focusing on the songs and music, we must give credit to the band (musicians) for some excellent backup.

Then, too, the art concept for the project was of Judy's own making and design, with some fine photos of this beauty queen thrown in for good measure, too.One excellent photo is of her at the Ryman Auditorium.

And , finally, we would be amiss if we didn't state the fact that the actual recording effort was accomplished not only in Canada (Heritage Studios, Burlington, Ont.), but also at Quad Studios in Nashville.

A final "note": Judy once told me that although she was singing "better than ever," she at that time was truly trying to "forge ahead," after getting some bad readings here and there. In other words, a few people had let her down, and not to softly. But in this new cd, perhaps we can say that she has been "lifted up"...with an eye to true success this time around, although at times in the past having made some significant charts, as with her own song: MISTLETOE, MY COWBOY and ME

 Judy Kanyo is a relatively new talent from Canada. She began her career late in 2004 appearing before an audience of 2000 as she opened for the award winning GOOD BROTHERS at the Lions Club 50th Anniversary Car Draw in Bradford Ontario. Since then Judy has performed at a number of prestigious festivals, fairs and venues throughout Canada, the USA, Japan and New Zealand. Apart from playing her regular professional gigs Judy devotes much time to performing at charity events and has helped raise thousands of dollars for worthy causes. Judy's first single, " It Must Be Rain” was released in late 2005 and though airplay was limited it reached a creditable number 81 on the Canadian “Country Music News” chart. The song was also selected for play on the in-flight entertainment for all of Air Canada's Fleet for the month of May 2006. With airplay growing stronger throughout the USA, Canada, Europe and Australasia, Judy Kanyo is set to become a major star in country music. Listening to Judy’s newest album, “Not What I Had In Mind”, with its fifteen tracks, one can easily see why Judy is becoming a firm favourite wherever she is heard. She has a wonderful voice which she uses in a cross-genre approach to country encompassing heart ballads, blues, swing, two step and a little honky tonk. The album offers so much for both the listener and the dancer with numbers like “Stop The Clock”, “You Wouldn’t Lie To An Angel”, “Teardrops Dry”, “West Texas Wind” and Judy’s own “Mistletoe, My Cowboy and Me”, which was nominated by the EMCA as “Song of the Year 2006”.

It's a pleasure for me to review the last Judy's album. Seems to me that finally she has found her way, her sound, her true style in country music. I think she has done it right this time. She's been under other's reigns in the past that haven't found the real Judy or their music. I have found areal, natural, wonderful sound, singing better than ever. Nice selection of songs, good band, excellent harmonies. This is the real Judy, no one better than her.
