This, her CD debut, kicks off with three rockers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One Night Free&#8221; is nicely spruced up with horns, sax and trombone reminiscent of Paul Simon&#8217;s, &#8220;Late in the Evening&#8221;. Roberts compares neatly with Sass Jordan and Alannah Myles when she belts &#8217;em out, but is at her best on the more soulful, heartfelt tracks like &#8220;Ask you to Try&#8221; and &#8220;Ray of Sunlight&#8221;, which tips the hat to a classic Lionel Richie melody.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a great barroom country &amp; western feel on &#8220;Raven Black&#8221; and &#8220;Someone Who Knows How to Lead&#8221; (remember Sue Medley), and &#8220;Don&#8217;t Look Back&#8221; swings delightfully with sweet southern touches. &#8220;Summer Rain&#8221; features a lovely backing vocal track and a classic late 1970&#8217;s rock radio vibe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The album closes with a Pogues-like ditty with a little help from Arthur O&#8217;Brien and Fred Jorgenson of the Navigators.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Ward Pike (guitar and more) and featuring tasty, spare harmonica bits from Mark Anderson and Alan Ricketts on steel Guitar.<\/p>\n<div class='shareinpost'><ul class=\"socialwrap row\"><li class=\"iconOnly\"><a  rel='nofollow'  target='_blank'  title='Recommend this post : Maria Sue Roberts &#8211; Fortune Favours Courage on Facebook'  href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsrecords.com%2Fsite%2Fshop%2Fmaria-sue-roberts-fortune-favours-courage%2F&amp;t=Maria+Sue+Roberts+%E2%80%93+Fortune+Favours+Courage'  ><img  src='http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/images\/blank.gif'  height='24' width='24'  class='image-24' alt='facebook'  style='background: transparent url(http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/default\/24\/sprite-feb-24.png) no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;height:24px;width:24px;background-position:-300px 0px'   \/> <span class=\"head\">Recommend on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"iconOnly\"><a  rel='nofollow'  target='_blank'  title='Pin this post : Maria Sue Roberts &#8211; Fortune Favours Courage on Pinterest'  href='http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsrecords.com%2Fsite%2Fshop%2Fmaria-sue-roberts-fortune-favours-courage%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsrecords.com%2Fsite%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F08%2FIMG_NEW-150x150.jpg'  ><img  src='http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/images\/blank.gif'  height='24' width='24'  class='image-24' alt='pinterest'  style='background: transparent url(http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/default\/24\/sprite-feb-24.png) no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;height:24px;width:24px;background-position:-1200px 0px'   \/> <span class=\"head\">Pin it on pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"iconOnly\"><a  rel='nofollow'  target='_blank'  title='Tweet this post : Maria Sue Roberts &#8211; Fortune Favours Courage on Twitter'  href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsrecords.com%2Fsite%2Fshop%2Fmaria-sue-roberts-fortune-favours-courage%2F&amp;text=\"  ><img  src='http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/images\/blank.gif'  height='24' width='24'  class='image-24' alt='twitter'  style='background: transparent url(http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/default\/24\/sprite-feb-24.png) no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;height:24px;width:24px;background-position:-1625px 0px'   \/> <span class=\"head\">Tweet about it<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"iconOnly\"><a rel=\"_self\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Freds%20Records%20:%20Maria%20Sue%20Roberts%20&#8211;%20Fortune%20Favours%20Courage&amp;body=here%20is%20a%20link%20to%20something%20on%20the%20Fred's%20Records%20site%20I%20thought%20you%20might%20like.%20%20https:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/shop\/maria-sue-roberts-fortune-favours-courage\/\" title=\"Check this out -- totally thought of you...\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/images\/blank.gif\" height=\"24\"  width=\"24\" style=\"background: transparent url(http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/default\/24\/sprite-feb-24.png) no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;height:24px;width:24px;background-position:-275px 0px\" class=\"image-24\"  alt=\"email\" \/> <span class=\"head\">Tell a friend<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"clean\"><\/div> <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
