Review
Sahara is the best new artist I ve heard in years. The world needs more
great artists. --T-Bone Burnett
(Sahara's)smoky voice, bluesy folk sound and lifetime love of
Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits have finally been captured on her
debut album. --Paste
The striking, lanky redhead exudes confidence and grace before
she even opens her mouth, but the real allure comes from her
vocals…a mixture of the soulful folk melodies of
Jewel with the soothing vocals of Norah Jones. raspy yet smooth, (with) lyrics that are drawn from her own life experiences --Seventeen

Out of the zillion or so albums that will flood cyberspace and points beyond, here is a first album that deserves as much acclaim as it can get. Buy it, play it, love it and marvel at how great your stereo suddenly sounds. One listen was all I needed to be convinced that Sahara Smith has given us a treasure. Please buy this album and thank me later.

I am not the kind of person who enjoys a new artist songs that make no sense or can't make out what they are saying. All they do is make noice, Sahara is not one of them.
As soon as I heard the first song from Sahara's debut CD I fell into a trance through every song until the end. She captivates the essence of less is more in these songs. Great mixture of years past and the now in her lyrics and voice. I definitely will talk to everyone about this up and coming artist and her accomplishment in her CD.
Wishing her luck and fame in her future for she definitely has it.

Sahara is a wonderful emerging artist, singer/songwriter with a wonderful spirit and soulfulness. Her first album, although she has been performing for a few years. Just received the CD, enjoying very much. Just beautiful, highly recommended.
