Admirable as her earlier albums were, ON THE MOON is much more adventurous, a convincing demonstration of just how versatile are her songwriting and cool, smoky, and compelling vocals.

I'm looking forward to working in every song at some point - the CD is wonderful...the songs, the singing and the production are all stellar. You need to be heard on Mountain Stage, Prairie Home Companion, E-Town, etc...all the big syndicated radio shows. People will FLIP OUT! Bottom line - it's a fabulous CD.--------

I have to tell you that your new CD has blown me away! It is one of the best albums I have heard in a very long time. It is very rare for me to listen to any CD all the way through but I have been listening to ON THE MOON just about everyday since you gave it me. More important, I have so far played "Rockin' Chair On The Moon," "He's A Handful" and "I Could Get Used To This" on my radio program.-------
