For the most part, the new disc stands up nicely alongside its predecessor. Greenleaf is first and foremost a singer, belting out blues in the fiery, hollering style of Koko Taylor. But Trying To Hold On shows that she's also a very capable songwriter, able to hew to the genre's traditions while revealing her own writing voice. Some of the songs here hold up favorably against any recorded this year.One of the best is "Sunny Day Friends," an electric blues with swinging sax from Ron Jones and biting guitar by Anson Funderburgh, who produced three tracks on the album. The lyrical theme echoes that of the blues standard "Grinnin' In Your Face" (popularized by Son House) in its put-down of people who stand by you in good times but run during the bad. Also at the top of Greenleaf's songwriting heap is "Taking Chances," a slow shuffle featuring Smokin' Joe Kubek on guitar. Greenleaf reportedly wrote the song – about the importance of jumping confidently into a love affair – for Kubek when he was dating the woman who eventually became his wife. It showcases Greenleaf's ability to take a simple lyrical idea and weave an entire song around it.– by About.com
