Editorial Review:
Though not the songs that would put her on the pop music map--that would come with 1987's Solitude Standing--Vega's first album shows her folky songwriting origins and, song for song, may still be her best. Produced by Patti Smith guitarist Lenny Kaye, the sound is softly sculpted by Kaye's silvery guitar and an airy, occaisonal string section, matching the dream-like introspection of "Queen and the Soldier" and the surreal word play of "Small Blue Thing." Vega's philosophical, quiet, but confident approach would open the door for a second generation of female singer-songwriters like Dar Williams and Shawn Colvin. Her debut remains an unassuming sleeper for one of the '80s best folk or pop albums. --Roy Francis Kasten

I am a Small Blue Thing...
like a marble or an eye... okay, here's the deal, listen to the tracks if you can and judge for yourself. It's good music. It is pretty, relaxing and thought-provoking.
Oh and she can actually sing.
Rating: - The woman on this album still fascinates me
This was my first Suzanne Vega album and remains one of my two favorites along with Solitude Standing. Suzanne's lyrics gave you just enough of a glimpse to make you long to understand the unspoken secrets lurking in the head of this mysterious, extremely intelligent yet strangely vulnerable woman. Very SEXY stuff without any sense of her consciously trying to be.
Like most of her fans I especially enjoyed "Marlene On The Wall" and "The Queen and The Soldier" -- but I'm also terribly ... Read More
