"Introspective, melodic folk-pop simply doesn’t get much finer than the new CD by Newburyport’s Levine. That rare album where a whole mind and heart is revealed." -- Daniel Gewertz, The Boston Herald
With poignant clarity, Levine sings beautiful songs of love and hope with a down-home feel good country flair. It isn't country music in the traditional sense, but it is a gorgeous slice of Americana that's sweet, innocent and spiritual and deserving of attention. -- Douglas Sloan, Metronome Magazine
"Susan Levine writes and sings with bottomless sincerity. Honesty is great, as far as it goes. But it's not enough. To really hit people, a songwriter and singer needs art and finesse. Susan Levine has plenty of that to go along her her honest heart. A smart writer with a warm voice that can send chills down your spine."
- Marilyn Rea Beyer, WUMB Folk Radio, 91.9 FM Boston

Hey Susan! So looking forward to your show at Perks Coffeehouse this Friday November 21st. Remember, come by early and we'll fix ya dinner. Hope all is well, Raymond.
Actually, that is the t-shirt logo on my page... I'm dying to see them as well! Great to see you, too--and so excited for all your good news. I'm gonna try and stop in on Tuesday, because my afternoon is pretty flexible, so I should be able to hang with you a bit before meeting up with Tom. :)
