Press

“Spiritual and meaningful … this album is a must-have for any genuine music lover ...Pure songwriting poetry. She explores the endless questions of faith and spirituality in songs like St Francis with ethereal harmonies provided by Kim Richey or the powerful Dark Angel with Rodney Crowell adding his distinctive vocal to possibly the album’s standout track. There’s no question about it, HELLO CRUEL WORLD is a jewel—surely it will end up as the most important record to emerge in 2012.”
—  Alan Cackett, Maverick (UK)
