“The guitar-slinging, piano-caressing "Poet Laureate" continues to beguile the good music-loving masses...with an ongoing series of live performances... At this point, we'd have to say the secret's out: Herndon's a singer/songwriter who's got it all-- she can play like a devil, voice a lyric like an angel and, if such a weird supernatural contest were ever somehow arranged, clearly out-do either of them as a song-maker .”

“Susan Herndon has just released the best music of her life with "All Fall Down." Recorded in Austin with a great cast of musicians, it was produced by Texas legends Lloyd Maines and Bob Livingston. From the opening song, "Land Of The Living" this set puts Susan in the forefront of roots oriented female artists, and actually much of it sets her apart from her peers. She is as honest as any Okie I know, a cool jazz singer sometimes and a rootsy red dirt singer as well.”
