Editorial review
In the early to mid-2000s, keeping up with the singer/songwriter scene could be a challenge because there were so darn many of them: excellent singer/songwriters, mediocre singer/songwriters, totally forgettable singer/songwriters. And part of the fun of following that scene was discovering the ones who, although talented, were flying under the radar -- Anny Rusk, for example. The first half of the 2000s didn't make Rusk a huge name in the world of female singer/songwriters, but she did enjoy a small following and recorded some noteworthy CDs, including her third album, Naked. Although not a five-star masterpiece, this 2005 release is an enjoyable outing that draws on such influences as Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, and Sarah McLachlan. Naked finds Rusk (who co-wrote most of the material and is listed strictly as Anny on this disc) revisiting (with new arrangements) a few songs that were previously heard on her 2001 release, Strange & Beautiful -- among them, the quirky "Gonna Get Mine" (which is about an execution by lethal injection) and the infectious "White Lipstick Girl." The latter gets Naked off to a perky, energetic start, but for the most part Naked is not a high-energy sort of album. It is generally an introspective, subtle, understated affair -- and that approach serves Rusk well on "I Want to Break Free," "Helpless," "Purple God" (another song previously heard on Strange & Beautiful), and "Home" as well an intimate cover of Daryl Hall's "Everytime You Go Away." Naked didn't receive nearly as much attention as it could have in 2005, but it's still a likable demonstration of what Rusk has to offer adult alternative and folk-rock fans. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
When I was 13 yrs old, my mother told me that I could not be a singer/songwriter. She told me that I was going to be President of the United States. Time spent in Washington on Capitol Hill and in the State Dept. soon cured me of her notion! It became clear through my experiences in Govt., and a vision I had while writing a budget for the democratization of Eqcuador, that I could positively affect many more people by playing music than playing politics. So the little girl became a singer afterall.
But as far as my mother is concerned, all is not lost. "Afterall, Reagan went from play acting to playing the President, Gopher went from The Love Boat to Congress, why can't you?"
NAKED encapsulates my journey from dancing on tables in my gold sandels at 4yrs old, to now, knowing that being me and sharing my spirit, is enough. NAKED celebrates the freedom we all have to be true to ourselves, with no barriers in the way. Free and flowing and happy as a child.
