Customer comments on this selection.
 Not what I expected . . .
I really love the song 'Mercy', but the rest of the album doesn't measure up. And after seeing Duffy on SNL, I am quite over her . . . she lacked stage-presence and looked more like a mannequin!
 Duffy Rocks
Duffy so rocks. Duffy's sound is so retro - a true modern day Dusty Springfield.
"I'll leave my shadow, to fall behind..."
Rockferry by Duffy is a cool and unique album from this sassy singer/songwriter. Duffy has a very strong and soulful voice, a lot of people have compared her to Dusty Springfield. The melodies and lyrics are pretty and simple, songs like Warwick Avenue, Mercy, Hanging On Too Long, I'm Scared, and Stepping Stone are some of the standouts. The opener, Rockferry is probably the strongest of the bunch. The closer, Distant Dreamer is optimistic and lush with a variety of instruments that fit perfectly with Duffy's vocals. I wasn't expecting much from this album, I was pleasantly surprised with how much talent this gal actually has. Buy it today!
Get off your duffy and buy this!!!
I am hypnotized by this Duffy. Not in a hypnotize by biggie kind of way, but in a 60's downtown gretna way. This CD is pure as snow before people drive on it and make it dirty or relieve themselves on it. I was introduced to Duffy, like most others, when I heard the song Mercy. I go to the gym four days a week (six when I have a date) and Mercy is a great song to go 14 miles on the treadmill to. I just put it on repeat and go. My favorite track though is not Mercy, which probably surprises you after what I just said about it. I like Rockferry. That track takes me back to Gretna in the 60s when double decker buses drove people around and dropped them off at the bowling for a night of shenanigans and tomfoolery.
I'm a really good bowler. Our team took 4 games out of a possible 4 last night. That's 100%!!!! We did the same thing last week. Can I pick up a 7-10 split? Are kids with syrup on their faces annoying? We had a bowling duel for the ages that Duffy might as well be the soundtrack four. Burns, Kroll, J-abs and I were bowling in the Eastern Nebraska Kind of Professional Bowling league for Gretna. We called ourselves Asschowder (big surprise). We bowled Ashland and let me tell you that Burns just didn't like Ashland. He called it trashland (that's ice cold). We all bowled over 250 and beat them by 435 pins. We let them bowl three balls at a time in the last game just to try and keep it close. Don't let your kids see that ever again! Let's just say average bowled for Trashland.
Get Rockferry now!!!
 great voice, great production, beginner songwriting
Duffy does have a great voice, and the production is like the best of Dusty Springfield's albums. But I wish she'd had a little more help with the songwriting. Some of the ideas are great, but just don't satisfy lyrically. And she does make up for a lot with her gutsy approach, and supercool vibe.
