This album allows Anne Hills' listeners to witness her coming into full bloom as a fine songwriter. Long know for her beautiful voice and carefully chosen repertoire of wonderful songs by other writers, she comes into her own as a writer on this finely crafted release. Long-time concert favorites such as 'Follow that road' and 'Sound of the looms' are present here, as well as some newer compositions that are destined to become classics. 'Fighting giants' is at once heartbreaking and inspirational -- and there's not a single weak track in the set. The musicianship, recording and production are first-rate -- this is an album to hold in high esteem for years to come.

Yesterday's Wind should takes its place among the perfect ballads of music. Ms Hills entire album is fine, but the first track brings her work into the light and the rest of the CD holds it there. Like Joan Baez, Sarah Mclachlin or Mary Bristow, it's all in the voice - and the voice is wonderful!

Hills is such a talented and thoughtful singer. I think I would have paid the price of the CD just for "Follow That Road!" Thank you!

Anne Hills has a remarkable voice. Unfortunately, her material rarely is the equal of her talent. This album is an exception. Strong songs and fine delivery. Most were written by the singer herself. Excellent.

"Follow That Road" is a gem of a song, nostalgic and full of lovely imagery. Doesn't anybody who's been around for a while daydream of following that road back in time to recapture a lost love only to be brought short by a little reality check. Anne's singing and guitar brings just the right ambiance to her wistful song.
