"Sue sings with real soul and impeccable taste. She is a joy to make music with!"
-Greg Leisz
(Pedal Steel with kd lang, Joe Cocker, Joni Mitchell, Lucinda Williams, Percy Sledge, Willie Nelson & Sheryl Crow)
"Sue is the owner of what I consider to be some of the most expressive and heartfelt vocal performances I have ever had the pleasure of recording. Her vocal depth and ability to turn a variety of lyrics into magical and moving music, will undoubtedly move and reward every listener. She is great talent with a beautiful persona. I hope you have the opportunity to find out for yourself."
-David Slagter
Producer / Engineer
"Sue Leonard is wonderfully talented, intuitive, creative, and able to sing absolutely anything - passionately.... she's also one of the nicest people I've ever met."
-Ben Mink
Producer/Songwriter
"from the minute i heard sue's voice, i heard a soul. i heard an ability. I hired her immediately a true professional and a wonderful spirit."
-kd lang
"If every singer on this show tonight sang like Sue we'd have one hell of a show"
-Mike Greene President of NARAS (backstage at the Grammy Awards)
"The sound was rich and eerily perfect from the very first bar of the opener, "Save Me", a slow, smokey arrangement typical of Ingenue. lang's singing and that of the backing vocalists Linda Kidder and Sue Leonard was well above the technical standard encountered at most rock shows..."
-From BBC Life and Times
(kd lang at the Hammersmith Odean Theatre)
"When Sue sings it send shivers up my spine."
-Tom Harrison, Music Journalist The Vancouver Province
"What a powerful voice."
