Well, I've been an admirer and supporter of Allison Crowe since I reviewed her first EP, "6 Songs" in October of 2002. I was stunned then, as I am now. This incredible chill-inducing voice coming out of a young person is such a rare treat in the age of Britneys, Hilarys and so on. This girl's the real deal. This release showcases Crowe's beautiful strong, gutsy voice, as well as her piano playing and songwriting that seem way past her young years. She has actually matured on this CD in comparison to her previous releases.

I first saw Allison sing at a taping for BT here on Canada's East Coast. After hearing just one song I immediately scoured downtown looking for a copy of her CD. I haven't heard such amazing talent in a long time. A breathtaking artist with an outstanding set of vocal cords, standards, and genuine raw talent. She's just as good, if not better, live than on CD. This is a must-have for your collection. She's currently on tour. If she's in your area, I'd check her out live, too.

This is obviously a first release with some technical problems but the music is amazing, her voice is fantastic, and it's one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. I listened to all of the downloads on the amazon website and loved them so much I had to buy the cd. The other songs are just as good if not even better. I would recommend this cd for people who like strong voices and music that stirs your soul.

Allison Crowe is one of the best female artists I have heard in so many years and her music gives me hope for the years to come.
With her creative lyrics and haunting voice I find myself listening to her music all the time. And as a lover of Montreal, I would have to say that is my favorite song on the album, bringing back personal waves of nostalgia. However, "Whether I'm Wrong" is another song I play constantly. Her pacifist anti-war position is one I admire, and her cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" is nothing short of magical.
