Crossin' On Over Review
Very young, with the responsibility for a family, Vicki Lee Countrysaengerin became. But the things change, with their CD "Crossin ' on Over" have them a break-through as Popsaengerin. The album begins with the quick rhythm of the Titelsongs "Crossin ' on Over" with concise guitar reef. "the melody packs you with the first time with sexy the voice of Vicki Lee", in the Booklet is praised and corresponds to the hearing feeling. "I want to jump at three o'clock in the morning on a Harley and leave blown through me mine understanding", am the basic statement of the singer and meet the tenor that hair-exactly CD.

Vicki Lee „Touch Of Life“ “Crossin’ On Over”
Folks, country music singer Vicki Lee truely is one of the kind. Country music mixed up with some blues, rhythm’n’blues, rock and gospel. Vicki Lee’s voice can sound very different: you can find it very soft in songs like “Mama Was Always There” or in “Angels On Golden Wings”. On the other hand, her voice can be very strong and rocking like in “Damien”. We mostly love Vicki Lee singing gospels: “Prepare Your Soul” and “Thank You Sweet Jesus” might give you a good impresion of her personality she probably will spread at live events.

Lee has a growling honky tonk voice also. She can purr and belt it out with the best of them. Think Linda Rondstat’s CD that covered lots of rocking covers like “Tumblin’ Dice” and “You’re No Good” and you get an idea of the sound and feel of “Crossin’ On Over”. It’s an enjoyable fun ride ...

Crossin' On Over Review
Vicki Lee “Crossin’ On Over” (Lydia Lee). Vicki, from Maine, has been performing for around eight years. Her dynamism as a performer reminded me somewhat of an early Brenda Lee – she really is that electric! “Crossin’ On Over” and “Prowl”, the two opening tracks, will fill any dance floor and then “In Your Arms” a soulful duet with John Stuart. And so the album goes blending rockers with tasty heart ballads. Eleven of the twelve songs carry either Vicki’s or her mother’s, Laura Smith, or both on the writer’s credit. The only cover is a beautiful version of “My Heart Will Go” from the movie “Titanic”. Also included is the award-winning 9-11 tribute “Angels On Golden Wings”, penned by Vicki and Laura.

Crossin' On Over Review
In this day and age of American Idol, it’s nice to see a vocalist that can really croon without all the effects in the studio pushing a feeble vocal into some massive arena shaker.

Crossin' On Over Review
Lee is a commanding, versatile vocalist who brings just the right tone to her eleven originals and an impressive cover of 'My Heart Will Go On'. I was surprised that songwriter Vicki Lee and her collaborator and mother Laura Smith are from the state of Maine. This CD has the heart and soul of Nashville, yet it cannot be pigeonholed into the country genre as Vicki blends the blues, pop and rock into many of her songs. 'Crossing' On Over' is the up-tempo opener. Honky-tonk piano combined with some stellar slide keeps the song flowing along with the roar of a Harley. Vicki's vocals are sassy and harmonize well with Laura's parts.

Crossin' On Over Review
Pay attention as this angel, Vicki Lee, as she sings about a life most dream of at some time or another: “Crossin' On Over to the fast lane ... to jump on a Harley at three in the morning” … “Fuse is getting shorter ... can’t you hear me howl … getting ready to “Prowl” around for you!” The next tune is a little bit slower and a spectacular love story: “stole my heart completely and I could not live my heart without you. You are all I ever needed In Your Arms where I belong.” Vicki moves on to “No More” which begins with such exquisite piano introduction: “Heart is breaking … tired of wasting my time and tears ... thinking my life was over... you did me a favor...No More!”

Vicki Lee
The Indie music structure is a miscellaneous collection in degrees of talent – numerous mediocre, a few above average, and a small number who fit in the superior category. Vicki Lee is undoubtedly one of those exceptional superior talents to emerge in the Indie country music arena.
It is a widely misconceived concept that all great country music singers hail from the South. I have been guilty of this superficial notion myself, but Vicki Lee, a native New Englander, puts any such thoughts to rest; she can deliver a country song to compete with the best. She has commanding voice control, sings with strong emotion, has perfect pitch, and is one of the most versatile singers around who easily and equally adapts to ballad, gospel, or upbeat tempo.
Vicki is also an extremely nice and modest girl, who gives the impression that she doesn't recognize just how good she really is; in fact, she seems embarrassed at all the praise she receives – a refreshing characteristic considering the many egos abound in the music business.
Unlike many who have come and gone on the Indie scene, she has maintained a steady “staying power” because of her unique talent. In short, Vicki Lee is “a singer’s singer” and we at TIAC predict that she will soar to great heights in her musical career

Crossin' On Over Review
Pure country is Vicki's forte and she hits the mark perfectly on this release. From the pure honky-tonk of the title track, even including a reference to a Harley Davidson to the dancable Prowl ...

Crossin' On Over Review
With a voice and sound that flips between sweet and sassy, Vicki Lee will wind you up and let you down softly.
Crossin' On Over is a smart and melodic album that fully represents the many aspects of this fine artist.

It’s A Bit Surprising
It’s a bit surprising not to see a cover of "Stand By Your Man" in Vicki Lee’s lineup, so similar does she seem to Tammy Wynette.
