Editorial Review:
Singer Toni Price's two major influences, Nashville and Bonnie Raitt, are more than audible on her fourth album, Lowdown and Up. While Price's voice is also reminiscent of the same vocalists who influenced Raitt, there's little doubt as to where her original inspiration came from. Price mixes her blues with country and folk, a blend that will appeal to some and disenchant others. For those who like it, there's plenty here to like: a strong, but never overwhelming vocal style, and an expressive range that runs from seductive ("Comes Love") to upbeat ("Loserville Blues") to gentle ("Anything"). Price, who moved from Nashville to Austin in 1989, has incorporated a definite Texan flavor into her sound, and she's one of many artists who could rise to prominence as the Austin music scene continues to draw national attention. --Genevieve Williams

Rating:  - Up on the Lowdown and Up
Ms. Price strikes again. I'm behind the curve on listening to her which is my bad. Not a bad song on this album. "Foolin' Around" is down right shiver in your bones sexy and her cover of the Gwil Owen's song "Lonesome Wind" is a classic.
Rating: - my favorite Toni disc
I read these reviews to get comparative data on which disc to buy if I own few or none of an artist's work. So, from that perspective, I am writing to rate this disc as Toni's best, and that's saying alot because she is one of the most consistent artists around. All the others are tied for second with the exception of "Hey" which is my least favorite. "Comes Love" and "Red River" are particular stand outs. Also for new Toni Fans, Her voice has weathered beautifully ... Read More

Toni Price sings so well on this 1999 set and makes it seem so effortless that this is a disc to which one can repeatedly return. The opener "Walk Out the Front Door" is a driving country rocker with Larry Fulcher on bass and Frosty Smith on drums combining for a great pulsing track. Toni's is the fourth version of "Comes Love" in my collection, joining Joni Mitchell, Dan Hicks and new jazz sensation Peter Cincotti. Toni's take is positively mournful with Johnny Gimble's fiddle ... Read More
Rating: - Great Find!
I don't listen to this kind of music any more, but heard the "Foolin' 'round" cut on our local NPR station and couldn't get it out of my head. After purchasing the disk, it's now one of my desert island goodies.
Rating: - Blues, Jazz and beyond...
I don't get the comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, really. Toni has her own voice. Thing is, her voice changes radically, from song to song. Sometimes she sounds a little like Sue Foley (on "Out The Front Door" which Bonnie did first), sometimes Ricki Lee Jones ("Remember Me?"), and yeah, I guess at times she gets some of the Bonnie vibe going ("Rusty Old Red River"). But this woman changes from song to song. The more you listen, the more you learn. I really love "Foolin' ... Read More
