"Stranger In My Own Hometown," a song about feeling out of place even in familiar surroundings, and "Quicksand," a tune that combines R&B with a tinge of jazz, stand out for Blakeley's soulful voice in particular. The outstanding song "I've Been Lonely" is another example of Blakeley's skill in evoking desire and grief.

"Lost On The River," "God's Little Elvis," "Heaven Is Calling," and "Who Let My Secret Out" are some of Blakeley's other well-known songs.
