Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

British Columbia's Jill Paquette's self-titled debut is as warm and inviting as it is refreshing, particularly when the young French Canadian singer-songwriter calls upon her Native American ancestry to spin up lyrical imagery that so aptly captures the intimacy between created and creator. And while acoustic guitar and piano weave Paquette’s musical tapestry, she is much more than your typical, cookie-cutter folkie. Paquette ratchets up the rock on such tracks as "Not The Only One" or "Forget," drawing comparisons to Sheryl Crow with their roots-rock sound. Paquette’s guitar prowess shines bright on "There to Here," as does her ear for the melodic chorus on "Lift My Eyes" and "So Close," both of which are reminiscent of Nichole Nordeman and Jennifer Knapp. Credit for this beautiful-sounding debut should also go to production group of Eldon Winter, Stephen J. Rendall, and Phil Madeira, who build the album around Paquette’s songwriting skills. --Michael Lyttle

This cd is simply wonderful. Not only am I constantly listening to it myself, but I have also given it out as a birthday gift and purchased 4 more for Christmas gifts! Jill has an amazing voice, great instrumental talent, and her lyrics are touching and inspirational. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who appreciates great acoustic music and intelligent, thoughtful lyrics.

You cannot wait another day to buy this CD. I heard Jill perform live in Minneapolis several weeks ago and she blew the crowd away. Her lyrics and voice are so moving you will not take this out of your CD! I've been listening nonstop.
