It's been a while since we heard from the talented Katie Terrio, but after listening to her new album, Radar Screen, I can honestly say it was worth the wait. An emotionally charged singer and songwriter, Terrio has created eight new tracks in addition to three bonus cuts that have been transferred over to Radar Screen from her heralded 2001 CD release Songs From the Overground.

Katie’s uniquely original voice has an appealing, universal attraction. Fuse it to her fine electric and acoustic guitar work, brilliant songwriting, and all-American good looks, and Terrio becomes a tour-de-force to be reckoned with. In my humble opinion, she runs in the same class musically as Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, Sheryl Crow, and Deborah Harry of Blondie…a real rock and roll diva with the goods to prove it!

Outstanding tracks worthy of a Grammy nomination (or at least a Boston Music Award nomination) include the sassy "Lipstick Baby", the anthemic "Letters", "Getting Out of Here", and the vocal workout of "I Do Too".If any time was right for Katie Terrio to break out into the mainstream, Radar Screen would be the vehicle to get her there. Good stuff!
