Review

Rosie Adsett of Country Update said; "Somebody's Daughter is the musical reflection of the maturity of Gina Jeffreys. Part of that development is Gina's partnership with one of Australia's finest musicians, Rod McCormack. Together they have written more than half the songs on this album including the very moving "That'll Be Me". The first single from this album "Dancin' With Elvis" has captured the media's imagination with its catchy tune and clever lyric. Gina's duet with Billy Dean "Have We Forgotten What Love Is" is sure to be all over the airwaves after Billy's visit "down-under" to perform at the Gympie Muster. This is the first album Gina has recorded in Nashville and it has given her the opportunity to work with some of the all-time great country musicians. Eddy Bayers on Drums, Brent Mason on Guitar, Sam Bush on Mandolin, Dave Pomeroy on Bass, Mat Rollings on Piano, and that's just some of the Nashville crew. They are joined by Aussies Michel Rose on steel, Jeff McCormack on bass, and Rod McCormack on guitar. All those involved with this work have good reason to be proud. It sounds like it was a pleasure to make this CD but it's evident that there was an enormous amount of work and talent invested in it." [6]

gollark: I mean, it's somewhat relevant for... ethical/moral/whatever issues.
gollark: What do you mean what situation?
gollark: Not letting you do things because of (possible) *emotional* harm to other people is very problematic.
gollark: That seems like kind of a stretch.
