Kris Kristofferson
"Delightfully distinctive, bravely unclassifiable, sexy and vulnerable... For All Time is a little masterpiece." (**** 4 stars) The Toronto Star
"Jill Barber is part of a breed of foxy and self-assured singer-songwriters... a tribute to an era when a song could be cheeky and sexy without being explicit." ***** (5 stars) Maverick Magazine, UK
"For All Time is modest but powerful. Thoughful writing and arrangements draw attention away from themselves and toward Barber's versatile voice."
NNNN (4 stars) NOW Magazine

Hello Jill and any one else that checks Jills wall posts!
We uploaded a clip of our choir practicing for our Canada Rocks 2009! concert where we are singing Miss Barbers song 'Oh My My'. You should give it a listen we think it is really good.
I love your music, but when I view your Myspace profile from certain computers I see a "Snocap" application that is trying to sell me songs by some other Jill - not you! I can't get it to appear on all computers but certainly this can't be a good thing. Let me know if you want to see a screenshot.
