Like alot of people I bought Rockferry for the song Mercy. Mercy was getting alot of air play and the song was kind of catchy so I gave it a chance. Mercy really rocks and is a well polished song. However the rest of the album is more of a soul / rb album. Duffy has a great voice but each song builds up and just at it is getting ready to peak it stops. I would anticpate her next album will have a more finished result much like Joss Stone's early career. This is a very good first try and I am sure that we Duffy will be around for awhile.
I feel that one drawback to Duffy is she will be compared to Amy Winehouse, Aidle, and Joss Stone who all are competing for title of best British Soul Artist. It seems like we are in the middle of a 2nd British Invasion. To compare the artists is not fair as they are each strong enough to stand alone.
Rating: - Also Great Live on SNL 09/27/2008
I have enjoyed this CD for quite some time but admit I'm even more impressed now that I caught her performing live on the 09/27/2008 episode of Saturday Night Live. She perfomred "Mercy" and "Stepping Stone" and she was great. The best live performer they've had on in a while. Looking forward to hearing whatever she does next too. I'm enjoying the retro vibe she and Adele and Joss Stone have brought back around. "Stepping Stone" is my favorite and reminds me of those Petula Clark and Dionne Warwick albums my Mom & Dad used to play. Very nice.
Rating: - Ronnie Spector ???
I somehow pictured her sitting on her bedroom floor- alone - with a kid's phono and a pile of Ronnettes records., when I first heard her.
( think " Be My Little Babaaaaaaayyy " ..... you can hear Ronnie in her voice ).
Rating: - Spectacular Album
I love this album sooo much. I usualy don't write reviews, but this is worth letting everyone know, that it is worth it. I listen to it all the time. I even have one @ work that I listen to during the daytime.
Love it

The proposed acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe is not a done deal. Both companies are under the scrutiny of the SEC, and it must also be approved by stockholders.
While Macromedia/Adobe gives this process three to nine months, some industry analysts feel that is being overly optimistic.
But assuming that all is goes as planned, Macromedia will cease to exist. Everything will be in the Adobe name and with the Adobe interface.
