Nothing Here to Sell

Editorial Reviews
Shannon Stanfield,The News-Sentinel
I just got my hands on T. Strickland's new CD, "Nothing Here to Sell," and I think she could have picked a better title. On her CD, the popular Knoxville singer-songwriter wears her heart on her sleeve, dishing out 10 genuinely gutsy love songs. My faves are the two most up-beat tunes: "Two Sides" and the "Baker Street" saxophone-vibed "Lemming." Here's to local photographer Christian Lange for a great cover photo as well.

Album Description
Acoustic Rock/Folk-Pop singer/songwriter original music. With equal parts folk, pop, and rock, Strickland is a powerful new voice gaining attention in the realm of so-called women's music. The 10 tracks on "nothing here to sell" provide a myriad of texture infused with a language that speaks to men, women, young, and old alike. Often described as "Amy Ray meets Melissa Etheridge", T's music contains passion that anyone can understand.

Customer Reviews:

wonderful harmony with haunting violin licks.......1999-07-28

These girls really know how to rock. I have never been a true "girl band fan", but I am hooked on the harmony and violin of T. Strickland. The Live album is also awesome.

Not what you'd expect.......1999-03-25

The best part of Nothing Here To Sell is the fact that it is not what the "major" record labels keep trying to sell us. Not every female singer/songwriter has to sound like either Jewel or Melissa. T. takes her influence from everywhere and holds nothing back. Songs like "Poison" and "Fidelity Down" strike deep and get your attention. While "Leming" and "Southern Belle" provide balance on both sides of the emotional spectrum. Nothing Here To Sell is a must have for those who love to sing along with their CD's (especially in the car). The third or fourth listen is all you need to get the words right. Since T's songs come from the heart you know most of them already.

Intense, a real emotional trip.......1999-03-12

The first month I had T's CD "Nothing Here to Sell", I played it constantly! Now it is always in the first slot of my 5 CD player. And there is a second CD in my car.

My favorite cut is "Two Sides". T. captures the emotions of jealousy, fidelity, and love in such a way that you are pulled along in complete understanding. For a great upbeat, dance-around-the-house song I go to "Lie to Me". And if it is a love song you want there is one that captures fantastic emotion and a beautiful sound without ever using the word 'love'.

T's words draw incredible images and her emotional range has something for everyone. She has put together a band that is the perfect compliment to her voice.

Looking forward to her next album!
