One of the greatest, briefest power-pop bands ever - Dang KATW were a powerhouse pop group! Rockin & rollickin . And Katrina Leskanich s voice was a marvel -- galeforce and gorgeous. This great collection is a real bargain. So many wonderful songs beyond the obvious monster hit. Do You Want Crying, That s The Way and Is That It? are personal favorites. My only complaint (sorry!) is the omission of Vince de la Cruz s beautiful Sleep On My Pillow, one of the all-time great lost rock ballads. The lyrics, melody and Katrina s vocal practically drip with dignity and heartbreak. Makes me WEEP on my pillow!
Good Older Artist - It is a fun dancing tune. I love listining to it in my car.
Walking on anything else is a waste of time! - From the time i peeled off the celophane to my sock-footed dance through the apartment as I listened to Katarina walk on sunshine for the second time, this album, trough and through, makes me wet as manilla in the monsoon season. The earthy tones and guttural feel provide an intensity not felt since the J.Giels Band laid down their epic track Centerfold. Comparisons begin with Lakeside and end with the Pretenders!
second only to the PRETENDERS - great disc. of course there were no discs, when this was a celebrated brindisi at the fraternity house.walking on sunshine is a timeless work, contains all the classical elements, while retaining its free composition. has been highly debated because of Katrina and her Waves striking semblance to the PRETENDERS.
One of the best female voices in modern music - most of us only know Katrina for the hit Walking on Sunshine but the numerous tracks on this greatest hits set are just as catchy and uplifting. Katrina knows how to rock out and have fun. Sun Street is reminiscent of the Beatles and That s the Way makes you want to jump up and start clapping and shaking your fist in the air. They do a superior version of Going Down to Liverpool which was written by a member of the Waves and was later covered by the Bangles. One listen and you will be hooked. It s a fun CD!
